Synopsis

This volume, "Selections From Tibullus and Propertius," offers a curated collection of works by two of Rome's most celebrated elegiac poets, Tibullus and Propertius. Edited with an introduction and notes by George Gilbert Ramsay, this edition provides valuable insights into the poets' lives, their literary styles, and the historical context in which they wrote.

This edition is an invaluable resource for students and enthusiasts of classical literature, offering a window into the world of ancient Rome through the eyes of its most eloquent poets.
