Nota sobre <i>la recusatio</i> en Herrera: la imitación de los elegiacos latinos en <i>Versos</i>, I, elegía 6

In the poem «En tanto que, Malara, el fiero Marte», Fernando de Herrera remakes basically two elegies of Propertius (I, 7 and II, 34), to which he adds several echoes of Ovid and of other passages of the poet of Umbria. On the one hand, this paper consists of the examination of the imitative process, which can be defined as composite and creative. On the other, it emphasizes the significance of the text in order to the study of elegiac genre in Herrera and Spanish Renaissance poetry: firstly, it proves the direct influence of Roman erotic poets; secondly, it illustrates the revival of the recusatio theme to be applied to contemporary discussion about poetical hierarchy and value; finally, it offers a very clear example of how lyrical love topics could be modified to adapt classical elegy to petrarchist conventions of modem poetry.

Her Turn to Cry: The Politics of Weeping in Roman Love Elegy

Roman love elegy presents its male speakers as weeping helplessly for a cruel mistress, the dura puella. Though this image has dominated the reception of elegy, Ovid's Ars amatoria and Amores deviate strikingly: in these works the lover seeks to see his mistress weep. Further review demonstrates the same desire, well hidden, in the elegies of Propertius and Tibullus. This paper argues that Ovid shows the resentment underlying the elegiac lover's tears, along with the desire for revenge in the form of his beloved's compensatory tears.

How to win girlfriends and influence them: amicitia in Roman love elegy

It is often said that amicitia, so prominent in the love poetry of Catullus, plays a negligible role in the elegies of Propertius, Tibullus and Ovid: the elegists avoid the vocabulary of amicitia and prefer to describe the relationships with their beloveds in terms of militia and seruitium amoris. In this paper, however, I shall show that this is mistaken. While the elegists do not use the vocabulary of amicitia systematically, they clearly do continue to appeal to its protocols and moral code – Ovid above all. It will be seen that Catullus and the elegists share the use of the ideology of amicitia to pressurize their beloveds to accept or make a return on the benefacta which they as lovers bestow.
