Cambridge University Press. Paperback. New. Paperback. 512 pages. Dimensions: 8.9in. x 6.0in. x 1.3in.In 30-15 BC Sextus Propertius composed at Rome four books of elegies which range from erotic to learned to political and exhibit an unparalleled richness of themes, concepts and language. This book investigates their sources and motives, examining Propertius family background in Umbrian Asisium and tracing his career as he sought through poetry to restore his familys fortunes after the Civil Wars. Propertius progress within the Roman poetic establishment depended on his patrons - Tullus, Gallus, Maecenas and Augustus. Initially his poetry was influenced radically by his elegiac predecessor C. Cornelius Gallus, arguably also the Gallus who jointly patronised Propertius first book. New heuristic techniques help to recover the impact on Propertius of Cornelius Gallus (mainly lost) elegies. Propertius subsequent move into Maecenas, and then Augustus, patronage had an equally powerful, ideological, impact; in his latter books he became (alongside Virgil and Horace) a major and committed Augustan voice.
