Ciceron etait aussi poete. On le sait moins, mais le celebre avocat n'a jamais cesse d'ecrire des vers, depuis son adolescence jusqu'aux dernieres annees de sa vie. Sans doute ce n'est pas a son oeuvre poetique que Ciceron doit sa renommee. Tacite et Martial, entre autres, eurent des mots assez durs a son propos, cependant celle-ci, abondante et variee, laisse entrevoir tout un pan meconnu de l'oeuvre de Ciceron ainsi que les gouts litteraires de l'epoque.
La presente edition rassemble en un volume toute la poesie de Ciceron, le plus souvent connue par des citations glanees dans divers textes. La riche introduction replace l'oeuvre poetique dans le corpus ciceronien et degage trois grandes periodes, correspondant a trois styles de poemes: l'oeuvre de jeunesse, tres marquee par la poesie alexandrine contient notamment les Aratea, traduction en vers latins du fameux texte d'Aratos, et qui occupe la plus grande partie du recueil. Puis, a l'age adulte, Ciceron se tourne vers des sujets de plus grande envergure et plus proches de son epoque. Il ecrit alors des epopees d'actualite, dont le De Consulatu suo et le De Temporibus suis sont les exemples les mieux conserves. Enfin, au crepuscule de sa vie, Ciceron philosophe orne ses traites de traductions des plus grands poetes grecs, d'Homere a Euripide. Apres ce panorama de la poesie ciceronienne, l'introduction relate en detail l'histoire du texte et de ses editions. Des notes accompagnent la lecture et sont developpees, pour chacun des poemes, par des notes complementaires. L'ouvrage est en outre enrichi par une precieuse table de concordance ainsi que par un Index Nominum.
