Classical Literature, Roman Poetry & Modernist Literary Criticism
Propertius: Modernist Poet of Antiquity by D. Thomas Benediktson, published in 1989 by Southern Illinois University Press. This is the first edition and first printing, confirmed by the complete number line ending in 1.
This scholarly work offers a distinctive interpretation of Sextus Propertius, the celebrated Roman elegiac poet of the Augustan age. Benediktson examines Propertius through modern literary techniques, exploring his use of internal monologue, stream of consciousness, imagism, nonlinear transitions, and other qualities that anticipate modernist poetry. The study also considers Propertius’s influence on later writers, including Ezra Pound and Robert Lowell.
An uncommon academic hardcover for classicists, Latin scholars, poetry students, university collections, and readers interested in the connections between ancient literature and literary modernism. Includes bibliographical references and an index.
The book remains in good condition with a firm binding and clean, readable pages. The teal cloth covers show light rubbing, small marks, and mild wear at the corners and spine ends. No dust jacket is present. Please review the photographs for the exact copy and condition.
