Description
Translated by Patrick Worsnip, Sextus Propertius' poems are a masterful exploration of love, desire, and obsession. With their unique blend of irony, subtlety, and humour, they offer a refined portrayal of the human experience.
At the heart of Latin literature's golden age, these poems resist the attempts to turn them into propagandist works, instead revealing a psychological acuity and playfulness that is unmatched. Worsnip's translations bring out the full depth and complexity of Propertius' work, reinstating his poems as a vital part of literary history.
