Reading Latin, first published in 1986, is a bestselling Latin course designed to help mature beginners read classical Latin fluently and intelligently. It encourages reading continuous texts from the start; offers help with translation at every stage; and integrates learning Latin with an appreciation of its influence on English and European culture from antiquity to the present. The Text and Vocabulary is richly illustrated and begins with graded adaptations from classical Latin texts, gradually moving towards unadulterated prose and verse. The accompanying Grammar and Exercises volume completes the course, and the present volume can also be used as a self-standing beginner's reader. This second edition has been fully revised and updated, including a new chapter on early Roman history.
