Description

"Propertius is a poet of singular boldness and originality. It is, perhaps, fitting that he have a translator to match. . .. The results justify his approach. McCulloch has remained faithful to the essential content, development, and tone of his originals. At the same time, by refusing rigid adherence tot he syntax and vocabulary of each poem, he has allowed himself the freedom to endow his versions with all the force and expressiveness that he has at his command. These are considerable, for he is a gifted poet. His versions possess a rapidity and piquancy unusual in translations. Some of his turns of phrase are quite arresting. In short, his translations are also poems in their own right." --Classical World This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1972. From the Inside Flap "Great poet though he is, Propertius (born c. 50 B.C.) has been relatively little read. His chief subjects are love, death, and Roman life. This. . . edition offers and excellent, readable, poetic translation." --Key Reporter   "Attractive in an up-to-date idiom and topicality . . . judiciously balanced by polished elegance of phrase which does ample justice to the more sonorous and urbane areas of the original . . . he almost always captures the sustains our interest. His diction is more forthright, spare, unaffected, and modern in tone than any previous full-scale translation." --Time Higher Education Supplement From the Back Cover "Great poet though he is, Propertius (born c. 50 B.C.) has been relatively little read.
