This 1951 study of the greatest exponents of Latin elegy examines every aspect of their versification in detail, from their metrical practices to their choice of words and idiomatic usages. Unrivalled for its depth of scholarship, it remains the definitive treatment of elegiac verse in the Augustan age.
