Abstract
Critics have ignored the strong Propertian presence in Robert Lowell's poems. The case is here made for Propertius as one of Lowell's main influences. Evidence adduced from Lowell's letters reveals his personal identification with Propertius, an attitude evident in the interpolations of his translation of elegy 4.7. Poems ostensibly based on Virgil, Catullus, and Ovid are shown to have a strong Propertian inflection. And per plexities of Propertius' style are linked to Lowell's.
