Book Description
Excerpt from Hints and Helps for Latin Elegiacs The object of this selection is to supply interesting English poetry for boys in the higher forms of Public Schools. The mistake usually made is to set boys English to turn into Latin Verse, which is quite unlike the kind of Latin that they read in ordinary selections from Ovid. A boy who has gone through such a book as Taylor's Stories from Ovid in Elegiac Verse, is quite at sea when turned on to the sentimental love-pieces, or languid descriptions of scenery, which form the usual staple of a Latin Verse Exercise Book. He is at once met by two difficulties. The first is that the English does not inspire him. The second is that the Latin poetry which he has hitherto read is not at all in the same style. Now it is not contended that Ovid is the most inspiring of poets. That he is the most easy of imitation, however, may fairly be assumed. If it is a good mental exercise to put English into Latin Verse at all, there is no style so easy to catch as that of Ovid. The stupidest of boys can learn to break up the ideas in an English couplet and to rearrange them in short Ovidian sentences, as in the panels of a triptych, if only there are any ideas in the English to begin with. The very excesses of such a style will teach boys to reflect, and they will acquire judgment by beginning Verse on so obvious a system. In studying Ovid they will notice that they study a poet who gives to a single idea more turns and transitions than any other Latin author.

Book Description
Provides the necessary context to read elegiac and lyric poetry, designed for novice and experienced Classics and Latin students alike A Guide to Latin Elegy and Lyric explores the language of Latin poetry while helping readers understand the socio-cultural context of the remarkable period of Roman literary history in which the poetry was composed. With an innovative approach to this important area of classical scholarship, the authors treat elegy alongside lyric as they cover topics such as the Hellenistic influences on Augustan poetry, the key figures that shaped the elegiac tradition of Rome, the motifs of militia amoris ("the warfare of love") and servitium amoris (“the slavery of love”) in Latin love elegy, and more. Organized into ten chapters, the book begins with an introduction to the literary, political, and social contexts of the Augustan Age. The next six chapters each focus on an individual lyric and elegiac poet—Catullus, Horace, Tibullus, Propertius, Ovid, and Sulpicia—followed by a survey of several lesser-known poets and post-Augustan elegy and lyric. The text concludes with a discussion of major tropes and themes in Latin elegy and lyric, and an overview and analysis of key critical approaches in current scholarship. This volume: Includes full translations alongside the Latin throughout the text to illustrate discussions Analyzes recurring themes and tropes found in Latin poetry such as sexuality and gender, politics and patronage, myth and religion, wealth and poverty, empire, madness, magic, and witchcraft Reviews modern critical approaches to elegiac and lyric poetry including autobiographical realism, psychoanalysis, narratology, reception, and decolonization Includes helpful introductory sections: "How to Read a Latin Elegiac or Lyric Poem" and "How to Teach a Latin Elegiac and Lyric Poem" Provides information about each poet, an in-depth discussion of some of their poetry, and cultural and historical background Features a dedicated chapter on Sulpicia, offering readers an ancient female viewpoint on sex and gender, politics, and patronage Part of the acclaimed Blackwell Guides to Classical Literature series, A Guide to Latin Elegy and Lyric is the perfect text for both introductory and advanced courses in Latin elegy and lyric, accessible for students reading the poetry in translation, as well as for those experienced in Latin with an interest in learning a different approach to the subject.
