Elegiac Eyes is an in-depth examination of vision and spectacle in
Roman love elegy. It approaches vision from the perspective of
Roman cultural modes of viewing and locates its analysis in close
textual readings of Tibullus, Propertius, and Ovid. The paradoxical
nature of the Roman eyes, which according to contemporary optical
theories were able to penetrate and be penetrated, as well as the
complex role of vision in society, provided the elegists with a
productive canvas for their poems. By locating the elegists' visual
games within their contemporary context, Elegiac Eyes demonstrates
how the elegists were manipulating notions that were specifically
Roman and familiar to their readership.
