What reading level is Propertius a Modern Lover in the Augustan Age book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But alas for his weak and passionate heart ! It was her beauty, not her accomplishments, that dragged him back to her again and again, even in his own despite.
" Quamvis dura, tamen rara puella fuit, " Propertius: A Modern Lover in the Augustan Age y is his own reluctant admission, even while nursing his wrongs after a mortal quarrel.
Such, if we make due allowance for the enthusiasm of a lover, was the woman whom Propertius met at the turning-point of his career. He could not have been much ov...er eighteen: pre- cocious and erratically brilliant, filled with his book-learning, fired with his Alexandrian poets ; but scarcely more than the child he had just ceased to be.
Cynthia, on the contrary, as we might guess, was several years older — probably not less than twenty-four or twenty-five — and well-versed in the art of subjugation. Not, however, that such a women needed any special training to subjugate this innocent and ardent, shy and passionate boy. The difficulty would be to get such a boy to declare his love.
