Reviews

"Welch expands and informs our reading of Propertius through reinserting it into a richly textured political and ideological geography that interrogates the poems as much as it 'explains' them. It will be a book that all scholars of Propertius will need to consult." --Paul Allen Miller, University of South Carolina

"Welch's book is a tour de force. The connections she makes between gender, ideology, history, and religion in Propertius are done in a masterly and seamless fashion. Her knowledge of these areas, her command of gender theory and criticism, and her sensitivity to the nuances of poetic language are extremely impressive." --Ellen Greene, University of Oklahoma
