“ENGENDERING LANDSCAPE”: PROPERTIUS' USE OF PLACE IN 1.21 AND 22

Abstract:This paper explores the metaphorical use of landscape in the last two poems of the Monobiblos, focusing in particular upon the significance of Propertius' personification and “feminization” of the Etruscan dust in 1.22. By relating this to comparable uses of landscape in other poems of the Monobiblos and by poets such as Catullus and Virgil it enables further appreciation of the contribution that these two poems make to this book of love elegies and to a broader discourse in Roman poetry about landscape and gender.
