Horace: Satires Book I by Horace (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Horace: Satires Book I by Horace, Emily Gowers Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Major new commentary on Horaces debut work, in which he wrestles with the problem of how to define and assimilate satire. Designed primarily for upper-level university students of classics, providing help with grammar and syntax as well as literary, historical and sociological aspects of the text. Publisher Description Horaces first book of Satires is his debut work, a document of one mans self-fashioning on the cusp between republic and empire, and a pivotal text in the history of Roman satire. It wrestles with the problem of how to define and assimilate satire and justifies the poets own position in a suspicious society. The commentary gives full weight to the dense texture of these poems while helping readers interpret their most cryptic aspects and appreciate their technical finesse. The introduction puts Horace in context as late-Republican newcomer and a vital figure in the development of satire, and discusses the structure and meaning of Satires I, literary and philosophical influences, style, metre, transmission and Horaces rich afterlife. Each poem is followed by an essay offering overall interpretation. This work is designed for upper-level students and scholars of classics but contains much of interest to specialists in later European literature. Author Biography E. J.
