'They are readable, excellent poems, and it would be crazy to dismiss them as pastiche... The jokes are good ones, the sensory lines are exact, and Norman Douglas among others would have envied them, but the lines about death, and the jet-black shadow that death casts on other lines, make this the work of a good and even an important poet' - Peter Levi, Times Literary Supplement'Russell's Quintilius... has that quality of authority which comes when a man acheives his own tone and pitch after a lifetime learning the craft of verse' - Robert Nye, The Times

Peter Russell is at his lyrical and satirical best in the Elegies of his alter ego Quintilius, a disaffected and maverick late Latin poet whose scabrous observations on the last decadent days and collapse of the Roman Empire, seen from a provincial perspective, are sharply pertinent to our own age. This enlarged edition reissues with much uncollected material a famous modernist jeu d'esprit which gave Peter Russell his true poetic voice - dyspeptic, witty, coruscating and chilled by sudden apprehensions of mortality.
