Description
Ce commentaire du Livre IV, qui fait le point sur l'etat actuel de la
recherche dans les etudes propertiennes, offre un texte original et un
apparat critique, accompagnes d'une traduction en prose. Le texte
retenu, qui se fonde sur les travaux de Marc Dominicy, attribue au
manuscrit T une place importante, mais secondaire par rapport a N, a la
difference des editions recentes qui favorisent l'hypothese d'un stemma
a trois branches. La premiere partie fournit, pour chaque elegie, une
synthese qui la replace dans son contexte et fait le point sur ses
enjeux litteraires, historiques et sociologiques. Les commentaires ad
uerbum, qui proposent une analyse fouillee de chacune des elegies,
s'inscrivent dans cette perspective. Properce ne se borne pas, en effet,
a refaconner la fiction elegiaque de la puella et ses modeles,
comme dans les trois premiers Livres. Il accorde une place majeure aux
realia, a commencer par les monumenta de Rome, en
articulant le reel contemporain et l'imaginaire a travers le prisme du
mythe et de l'ideologie. Le poete elegiaque se demarque de la nouvelle
conception du pouvoir politique, adossee a la tradition romaine, et qui
s'incarne dans le mythe de la fondation chante par Virgile et Horace.
This commentary on Book IV, while describing the current
state of the art in Propertian studies, provides an original text as
well as a critical apparatus, together with a translation in prose.
Unlike recent editions that favoured the hypothesis of a third branch,
the text edited here, based on Marc Dominicy's works, attributes to
Manuscript T an important yet secondary role, as opposed to N. In the
first part, a critical synthesis places each elegy into context and
reviews the literary, historical and sociological issues it may raise.
This general perspective paves the way for the detailed ad uerbum
analyses that follow. Indeed, Propertius does not only reshape the
elegiac fiction of the puella and its models, as happened in the
first three Books. He also focuses on realia, such as Rome's
monumenta in the opening poem. His writing strategy consists in
using the prism of myth and ideology in order to bridge the gap between
contemporary reality and imagination. The elegiac poet takes a critical
view on the emergence and development of a new conception of political
power based on the revival of Roman tradition and the foundation myth
sung by Virgil and Horace.
