This original look at the Roman love elegies of Propertius, Tibullus, and Ovid engages postmodern and new materialist feminist theory to assert the significance in the poems of human bodies in all their vulnerability, sexiness, and materiality. This analysis underscores the impact marginalized characters such as mistresses and enslaved individuals have on the genre.

This volume considers representations of space and movement in sources ranging from Roman comedy to late antique verse to explore how poetry in the Roman world is fundamentally shaped by its relationship to travel within and the geography of Rome¿s far-reaching empire.
