Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - kleiner Einriss Einbandvorderseite, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand / small tear front cover, otherwise perfect condition - Propertius’ elegies have always posed special problems: an unreliable manuscript tradition, difficulties of language, an often unsettling literary organization. Even where an interpreter overcomes such basic obstacles, the poet’s shifting political attitude makes it hard to assess his place within the “classical” Augustan era. The traditional hypothesis of “development,” viz. from an uncomplying young love poet to a responsible citizen, has failed to explain, for example, why his program of national elegies is being abandoned in the very book in which it was announced (i.e., 4). -- Part I of this study establishes the methodology. By verifying the thought sequence in early elegies, Chapters I-V develop a major interpretative tool. They also investigate, in addition to elegies on love and on literature, the poet’s early political experience: loss of family property due to the party of Octavian (the later Emperor Augustus, 31 BC-AD 14), death of a relative after fighting against Octavian, Octavian’s massacre at Perusia in 40 B.C. Propertius will never acquire the ease that Horace and Vergil display toward the victor of the Civil War. -- Part II, starting out from the frequent juxtaposition of adulatory and dissenting attitudes, replaces the “development” hypothesis. Chapters VI-XII trace how the poet, though on the surface increasingly bowing to the Zeitgeist, does not completely surrender his early ideals of love and personal freedom. He even guardedly restates those ideals when finally abandoning his national program. All along, “love” (amor) and “war” {arma) are key terms to express his dilemma. Whenever drawing on Vergilian concepts for official praise. Propertius may be paying lip-service rather than revealing the human core of his poetry, which concerns the alienated individual. -- For the Latin scholar, the book demonstrates that Augustan literature can no longer be appreciated exclusively by the standards of the court-related poetry of Horace and Vergil. The general reader (for whom Professor Stahl provides precise translations) will recognize in Propertius’ poetry the timeless issues of the condition humaine. Combining literary sensitivity with rigorous philological argument, Professor Stahl gives a rich portrait of the dissident poet who encodes personal concerns while wr, DE, [SC: 4.50], gebraucht; gut, gewerbliches Angebot, [GW: 864g], Banküberweisung, Offene Rechnung, PayPal, Internationaler Versand<
