This book traces the evolution of the Latin love elegy as a literary form from its origins in the Greek elegiac poets such as Callimachus through its classic development in the Augustan age to its reception by later poets. The author examines the work of the major Augustan elegists: Gallus, Tibullus, Propertius, and Ovid, discussing their relationships with one another and with other poets of the time, and their participation in the social reforms of Augustus. In particular, the book focuses on the way these poets develop and refine the elegy as a means of personal expression, exploring themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning in life.
