Excerpt from The Roman Elegiac PoetsThe need of a college textbook containing a judicious selection from the whole field of Roman elegy with suitable introductory matter and English comments has long been evidenced by the announcements of various publishers that such books were in preparation. The present edition was undertaken many years ago by my father, the plan as then conceived being somewhat less comprehensive than that which has now been worked out At the time of his death he had already written some notes on Propertius for the contemplated book, the last words appearing in his manuscript, penned amid increasing feebleness, being, by a touching coincidence, one of his happy English versions, reading, 'Ah me! that the strain should be so feeble in my mouth!' (4, 1, 58). Such of those first-draft notes as were available have been included in this edition under the signature "(C. S.)."The magnitude of the task has grown with the years, as the vast amount of material published in connection with the four authors from which these selections are taken has increased. Moreover, the classes in which a book of this kind will be used require in many cases a relatively advanced grade of comment; yet the linguistic basis for higher scholarship is too often in America sadly wanting, and, incongruous as it may appear, the somewhat elementary note seems to be required, side by side with one that stimulates to original research. It is with a full appreciation of the impossibility of meeting equally well all the possible varieties of demands made by the different users of the book that the editor ventures at length to give it to the public.The arrangement of both the commentary and a carefully selected conspectus of variant textual readings on the same page with the text will, in practice, commend itself as the most practical one for the kind of classes for which the book is intended. Special effort has been made by running analysis to make the outline of the elegy clear to the student.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An excellent collection By David L. Phillips I don't own the displayed edition, I own the 1968 edition published by the U of Oklahoma. If you're not familiar with the Latin elegiac poets this volume is a superb entry. Notes are copious, informative, and not overly intrusive. The selections are representative of the poets, with generous servings from each author.The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because I have trouble with KPH's occasional editorializing. His reference to the Ars Amatoria as "this weapon for evil" is too much, and his assessment of Catullus reveals more of Harrington's prudery. Fortunately his attitudes don't affect his scholarship, and I do not hesitate to recommend this book (at least the earlier versions) to any serious student.
