Description

Explore the deep connection between literature and love in Propertius' Cynthia: The Book as Beloved, published by Oxford University Press. This scholarly volume focuses on Books 3 and 4 of Propertius' work to examine his metapoetic and intertextual habits. While many researchers treat metaliterary and amatory elements as separate entities, this study argues that his discussion of his own poetry and his identity as an author is closely tied to his relationship with Cynthia. By mapping his metapoetic commentary onto his account of his beloved, this book provides a new perspective on the repetitious amatory discourse he creates. It is an essential resource for those studying the relationship between an author's craft and their personal narratives within classical poetry.

Key Features

Published by Oxford University Press, this volume provides a deep academic study of Propertius' poetry.

The text focuses specifically on Books 3 and 4 to analyze metapoetic and intertextual habits.

This book examines the relationship between the author's metapoetic commentary and his relationship with Cynthia.

The research challenges the idea that metaliterary and amatory aspects of Propertius' work should be treated as separate.
