Review
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. I like itBy M. NordykeThere isnt a whole lot of text in this book - only selected poems from Catullus; Tibullus; Sulpicia; Propertius; and Ovid. There are tons of notes and essays in the back; and to avoid reiteration of the previous review Ill add my own observations about the commentary.Im an undergraduate in my seventh year of Latin (including pre-university work). Im not fabulous at translation; so this is why I must complain. The commentaries are nice; but they rarely include help with the grammar or vocabulary. Sometimes the author goes into a pretty long explanation of references to mythology; other poems; or other literature. Im not saying this isnt useful; but to have a little bit of grammatical explanation - which my teacher often disagrees with - and vocabulary help would have been more useful to me. This might be more of a book for a graduate student; but I enjoy it anyways.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. perfect for the classroomBy J. Mc.Millers volume is an excellent introduction to Latin elegy for intermediate and advanced students. The selection of secondary material misses a few things but is a wonderful starting point for discussions of elegiac themes. Most readings are easily accessible to undergraduates; and the selection of poems covers the entire range of themes one might wish to cover in a classroom.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Good Latin TextBy A CustomerThis book has a nice smattering of erotic elegy from various authors including Catullus; Ovid; Propertius; and Tibullus. Miller includes commentary on each author that discussed his life; background and style. He also had helpful notes in the back to assist the Latin student in his or her translation.I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in gaining some experience in translating erotic elegy! (Also; there is enough space between the lines to write in vocabulary!).
