Propertius and the Virgilian Sensibility: Elegy after 19 BC
Studies Propertius' final collection of elegies as the earliest concerted response to the poetic career of Virgil in its totality. Reveals an elegiac Virgil as much as it does an epicizing Propertius, and enlarges familiar paradigms of allusion and intertextuality with implications for how literary and textual criticism are practised.
