Miller - Latin erotic elegy: an anthology and reader

I owe debts of gratitude to many people and institutions. My thanks go first to my colleague Ward Briggs who suggested this project to me and then to Barbara K. Gold who introduced me to the elegists so many years ago. I should also thank Kevin Herbert whose love for Catullus first sparked my own. The manuscript could not have been prepared without the aid of my research assistant and student, Christel Brown, and of the secretary of the Comparative Literature Program at the University of South Carolina, Noreen Doughty. I owe a debt of gratitude to Micaela Janan of Duke University and Deborah Lyons of Johns Hopkins as well as to their students who used a draft of this text in their classes and provided invaluable feedback. Micaela, you were, as always, a helpful and supportive friend. I cant thank you enough for countless favors large and small. Ellen Greene read over the final versions of the manuscript, provided insightful criticism and invaluable moral support. All remaining faults are my own. Of course, I would be and do nothing were it not for the love and support of my wife, Ann Poling, and of Sam, the only person who still asks me to play tag.

Two University of South Carolina College of Liberal Arts Scholarship Support awards provided the time and funds necessary to travel to the Classics Library at the University of Texas at Austin to complete my research and to finish the manuscript.
