Bag om The Poems of Sextus Propertius

"Great poet though he is, Propertius (born c. 50 B.C.) has been relatively little read. His chief subjects are love, death, and Roman life. This. . . edition offers and excellent, readable, poetic translation." --Key Reporter "Attractive in an up-to-date idiom and topicality . . . judiciously balanced by polished elegance of phrase which does ample justice to the more sonorous and urbane areas of the original . . . he almost always captures the sustains our interest. His diction is more forthright, spare, unaffected, and modern in tone than any previous full-scale translation." --Time Higher Education Supplement
