This volume focuses on the nineteen elegiac poems of the 'Appendix Tibulliana', a series of little-known Latin elegies transmitted as Book 3 of the 'Corpus Tibullianum'. Although it is accepted that they are not the work of Tibullus himself their actual authorship remains unclear and has been hotly disputed: they are notable especially for containing work attributed to Sulpicia, who may be the only female Latin poet we know of from pre-Christian antiquity. 0Though admittedly somewhat obscure, this volume argues that the elegies of the 'Appendix Tibulliana' have been unjustly overlooked in traditional scholarship: rather than concentrating on what we don't know both the Introduction and the Commentary focus instead on broader contexts of discussion. The Introduction examines not only stylistic and textual matters, but also the genre of elegy, its main practitioners, poetic communities, and gender roles, while the Commentary examines whether and how the poems fit into their cycles, into the 'Corpus Tibullianum', and into the genre as a whole. Close reading of the individual elegies reveals that they have a lot to teach us, especially in light of the question of women as authors in antiquity and the notion of mutability of identity.

The elegists, ancient Rome's most introspective poets, filled their works with vivid, first-person accounts of dreams. Dream, Fantasy, and Visual Art in Roman Elegy examines these varied and visually striking textual dreamscapes, arguing that the poets exploited dynamics of visual representation to allow readers to share in the intensely personal experience of dreaming. By treating dreams as a mode for viewing, an analogy suggested by diverse ancient authors, Emma Scioli extracts new information from the poetry of Propertius, Tibullus, and Ovid about the Roman concept of “seeing” dreams. Through comparison with other visual modes of description, such as ekphrasis and simile, as well as with related types of visual experience, such as fantasy and voyeurism, Scioli demonstrates similarities between artist, dreamer, and poet as creators, identifying the dreamer as a particular type of both viewer and narrator.

L'élégie latine ne se limite pas aux thématiques amoureuses. Ce volume, issu des communications présentées lors d'un colloque international tenu à Neuchâtel (Suisse) en mai 2010, questionne la définition limitative du genre latin comme poésie d'amour et souligne ses ambitions de grandeur. Il examine de plus, dans une perspective diachronique, la réception, l'appropriation et le renouvellement de la forme et des thèmes élégiaques à l'époque tardo-antique puis à la Renaissance. Le but en est une réévaluation de l'importance et de la richesse de l'élégie latine dans l'histoire des formes et des genres littéraires. Au fil des douze études réunies dans cet ouvrage se manifeste la vitalité et l'innovation inhérentes à ce genre marqué par une éternelle jeunesse.
