Backgrounds to Augustan Poetry: Gallus Elegy and Rome
Ross, David O. (University of Michigan)
In the first century BC, Latin poetry underwent considerable changes. In this 'poetic biography' of the period, Professor Ross traces the developing attitude of poets towards poetry as an art, and considers why they came to write as they did. Discussion throughout is based on specific poems and passages, providing a background for critical interpretation.
