Propertius : poet of love and leisure
In Propertius: Poet of Love and Leisure, Alison Keith explores Propertius' elegiac poetry in the context of early imperial Roman society. Examining a variety of themes associated with both Propertian poetics (such genre theory, poetic models, the girlfriend, the rival) and the poet's social context within the early Augustan principate (such as Roman imperialism, the elite male cursus honorum, Augustus' building projects) she offers a synthetic overview of Propertius' achievement in his four books of elegies. She considers the neglected relationship of rhetoric to Propertian elegiac poetics, as well as Propertius' debt to the classical literary tradition, and she explores themes in the corpus that reflect the Augustan imperial context in which Propertius lived and wrote. Arguing for neither a pro- nor an anti-Augustanism on display in Propertian elegy, Keith brings to light the multiple ways in which Roman imperial rule, the new pax Augusta, and new forms of elite Roman political competition intersect in and inform Propertius' poetry. The volume aims to contribute to our understanding of both Latin literature and Augustan culture its sustained exploration of refractions of the Roman 'imperialist enterprise' in Propertius' elegiac poetry.

EMENDATIONS IN THE THIRD BOOK OF PROPERTIUS
Five conjectures are proposed on the text of the third book of Propertius, one a slight alteration of an idea already proposed, four mainly original contributions: 1.23 postremo for post obitum, 4.18 supra uinctos for subter captos, 8.13 seu grege custodum for custodum gregibus (custodum grege seu Heinsius), 10.13 somnos for somnum, 11.40 adulta canis for adusta nota. One additional conjecture is made in passing on the text of Ovid, Epistulae ex Ponto 3.4.104, where duces probably ought to be read for uiros.

PROPERCE ET CYNTHIA (PROP., I, 1–10)
Les nombreuses contradictions et incoherences qui parsement ostensiblement l'æuvre de Properce resteront insurmontables tant que ľon considérera que c'est toujours ľauteur, méme sous differentes personae, qui s'y exprime. En me limitant aux dix premieres elegies, je propose d'y voir une violente confrontation entre dune part différents poetes (Gallus, Ponticus, Bassus), et ďautre part un locuteur qui semble se confondre avec le prince.

Epistemic Injustice in Propertius 1.3
In Propertius 1.3 we hear Cynthia speak for the first time, in direct speech, accusing Propertius of infidelity. It is a striking moment in elegy, barely to be repeated. In this paper I want to explore what the framework of epistemic injustice, part of the field of epistemology, could mean for a reading of this dramatic encounter. As elaborated by the philosopher Miranda Fricker, the theory provides radical new insights into how we conceive of the relationship between knowers, how we acquire and share our knowledge, and the prejudices and assumptions behind these interactions.
