Propertius, 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 poet's 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.
