This volume comprises works by three Roman poets known for cultivating the elegiac poem. Latin love elegy is one of the most important poetic genres in the Augustan era, also known as the golden age of Roman literature. The book's publication, and diffusion, in the 16th century enabled the erotic content of the works to shape in varying degrees Renaissance Europe’s love poetry.
