The boundaries of Propertian elegy
View through CrossRef
AbstractThis chapter treats the expanded—but continued—elegiac discourse of Book 4, and gives an overview of the ways in which Propertius’ intratextual engagement with his own verse and his interaction with the works of other poets (especially Vergil’s Aeneid) allow him further to explore the propria of elegy outside of the confines of the amatory (notably in 4.2, 4.6, 4.9, 4.10), but by no means to the complete exclusion of the latter. It is also shown that, by encouraging his readers to revisit his earlier books through the figures of Horos (4.1), Acanthis (4.5), Cynthia (4.7, 4.8), and Cornelia (4.11), Propertius recasts his prior presentation of his amatory discourse and destabilizes one’s interpretation of it.
