One of the best easy, cheap sources for classic period literature -- once 
you know what you're looking for -- is the "Penguin Classics" series. In 
my experience, the translations they choose are excellant, well-regarded 
by scholars, and capture the "feel" of the original language very well. 
Each one will also have a discussion of the origins of the text and its 
manuscripts, as well as stylistic and literary considerations and 
relationships.

What's more, the seies is kept in print (at least in paperback) and you 
can probably get a book catalog of what's available from Penguin if you 
write to them.
