Propertius" fourth book is his most challenging and innovative. It
disrupts genre; dislocates time and order; and meditates on gender,
perception and history. A sort of postmodernism combines with
narrative and structural verve, incisively physical writing and a
gallery of colourful characters. This edition makes a demanding and
rewarding text more accessible and more intelligible. The text is
new; help and fresh ideas are offered on the text and meaning of
words. A wide range of literary, inscriptional and archaeological
material is used to illuminate this many-sided poetry. Much more
space is given than in previous editions to literary interpretation
and historical contextualization, in the light of modern work. The
book is approached as a dynamic sequence of poems rather than a
collection. The edition should be valuable to both students and
scholars.
