Elegies
by Albius Tibullus
Tibullus is one of the three great Roman elegists. In this volume, the first major edition for 35 years and the first translation to mirror the elegiac couplets of the original, the award-winning poet A. M. Juster provides a faithful and stylish new translation of his major work. The volume includes facing Latin text. The Introduction considers Tibullus' poems in the context of classical elegy and in particular the elegies of his contemporaries, Ovid and Propertius, and discusses the influence of his patron Messalla in the reign of Augustus. Finally, Maltby's comprehensive notes explain topical, literary, and mythological allusions and identify major themes. - Publisher.
