Sextus Propertius: References & Edit History

Georg Luck, The Latin Love Elegy, 2nd ed. (1969, reprinted 1979), has two chapters on Propertius, the man and the artist, and a bibliographic survey of contemporary research. J.P. Sullivan, Propertius: A Critical Introduction (1976), analyzes the poet and reviews his relations to the poets and literary politics of his time. Margaret Hubbard, Propertius (1974), offers a concise general analysis of the poet’s work. Hellenistic tradition in Propertius is examined in Theodore D. Papanghelis, Propertius: A Hellenistic Poet on Love and Death (1987). Hans-Peter Stahl, Propertius: “Love” and “War”: Individual and State Under Augustus (1985), explores the thematic background of the poetry.
