Synopsis
Excerpt from Selections From the Roman Elegiac Poets: With Introduction and Notes
The commentary pretends to contain neither an applied syntax nor a system of antiquities. It is intended merely to clear up certain difficulties and to suggest certain parallels in a word, to restore something of that atmosphere which made these authors so popular in their own day. The shortness of the individual notes may prevent them from usurping the legitimate functions of the instructor, while at the same time it may encourage the student to read them.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the evolution of the Latin love elegy as a literary form from its origins in the Greek elegiac poets such as Callimachus through its classic development in the Augustan age to its reception by later poets. The author examines the work of the major Augustan elegists: Gallus, Tibullus, Propertius, and Ovid, discussing their relationships with one another and with other poets of the time, and their participation in the social reforms of Augustus. In particular, the book focuses on the way these poets develop and refine the elegy as a means of personal expression, exploring themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning in life.
