The Poems / Translated With Notes
Of all the great classical love poets, Propertius is surely one of those with most immediate appeal for the 20th century reader. His poetry centres on a helpless infatuation for the sinister figure of his mistress, Cynthia, and it is analysed with a tormented but witty grandeur in all its changing moods - from ecstasy to suicidal despair.
