"Propertius is a poet of singular boldness and originality. It is,
perhaps, fitting that he have a translator to match. . .. The
results justify his approach. McCulloch has remained faithful to
the essential content, development, and tone of his originals. At
the same time, by refusing rigid adherence tot he syntax and
vocabulary of each poem, he has allowed himself the freedom to
endow his versions with all the force and expressiveness that he
has at his command. These are considerable, for he is a gifted
poet. His versions possess a rapidity and piquancy unusual in
translations. Some of his turns of phrase are quite arresting. In
short, his translations are also poems in their own right."
