Opis

The first complete study of Roman verse satire to appear since 1976 provides a fresh and exciting survey of the field. Rather than describing satire's history as a series of discrete achievements, it relates those achievements to one another in such a way that, in the movement from Lucilius, to Horace, to Persius, to Juvenal, we are made to sense, and see performed, the increasing pressure of imperial oversight in ancient Rome.

Recenzje

'Professor Freudenburg's book, yet another in the series devoted by scholars over the years to such a visibly important genre, is welcome … The book will clearly be useful in the modern seminar-room, where it should generate much animated discussion.' Comptes Rendus
