In this volume leading international scholars offer a
comprehensive, critical and engaging presentation of the genre of
Latin love elegy. Opening with an outline of Greek elegy and Latin
precursors, the volume challenges the conception of Gallus as the
'inventor' of Latin love elegy, highlights how Sulpicia, the only
woman whose poetry is extant, makes the genre unique in the history
of Augustan literature in terms of gender, and provides fresh
presentations of the canonical Latin elegists. Five chapters visit
the world of Latin love elegy, the time, place and political
background, the stock figures and the slavery of love and erotic
campaigning. A whole section treats the limits of Latin love elegy,
which seem to be inherent to the genre itself. Nevertheless, the
volume closes with a series of investigations into the reception of
Latin love elegy, which attests to its vital influence on the
history of Western literature.
