Propertius: Elegies Book IV (Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics)
H.'s commentary offers a wealth of information on everything the reader needs for getting some grip on Propertius' intricate Latin and what he, probably or at least possibly, intends to express.    Both Gregory Hutchinson and his readers deserve to be congratulated for this book, which honours the eminent scholar to whose memory it has been dedicated, Oliver Lyne.   --Mnemosyne'Hutchinson gives us a tightly written account of the important issues in the last book, laying out with impressive brevity in his introduction the connections between the book and its predecessors ... this is a splendid example of the benefits of the detailed commentary as a genre.'  --Times Literary SupplementAs a whole, this new edition and commentary of Book 4 is most welcome:  it does not only form an introduction to Propertius' last collection,  but should also stimulate reflection on the text and permit  well-informed interpretations. It is written in a rigorous and elegant  style. ---BMCR'Hutchinson's commentary on Book IV of the Elegies of Propertius is destined in time to stand as a worthy heir of the great English tradition.'  --Gnomon
