Select Elegies of Propertius is a book of poetry written by the Roman poet Propertius, also known as Sextus Propertius. The book was first published in 1881 and contains a selection of elegies from Propertius' larger body of work. The elegies in this book are written in the elegiac couplet form and explore themes such as love, loss, and the complexities of relationships. Propertius often writes about his own experiences and emotions, making his poetry deeply personal and introspective. The translator of this edition, J.P. Postgate, provides a helpful introduction that contextualizes Propertius' work within the larger tradition of Roman poetry and discusses the challenges of translating his poetry into English. Overall, Select Elegies of Propertius is a beautiful and thought-provoking collection of poetry that offers insight into the emotional landscape of ancient Rome.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
