ISBN: 9780521292108.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePropertius, though his works are small in volume, is one of the foremost poets of the Augustan age, and his writing has a certain appeal to modern tastes (witness the admiration of Ezra Pound). Book I is especially suitable for the reader wanting a representative selection of Propertius poetry. It stands on its own, having appeared in the first place as a separate collection; it reflects a distinct phase of the poets activity (and of his emotional development); and it is the book which made his reputation. This edition is designed for the pocket of the university student, but it should find a wider audience among classicists of all ages. The introduction provides the necessary historical and critical background and relates Book I to the rest of the elegies; the notes are helpful and to the point; and the text has a reasonable minimum of apparatus. There are no modern editions of this size and scope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44947054624821,"sku":"ByrdShop_0521292107","price":39.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780521292108_f3c71b77-3b7f-4a0f-a73f-70e9303730a1.jpg?v=1778926809","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/propertius-elegies-book-1-9780521292108","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
