Description
Horace's first book of Satires marks a pivotal moment in the development of Roman satire. Written by Horace, this debut work wrestles with the problem of defining and assimilating satire in a society that is suspicious of its power. The commentary provides full weight to the dense texture of these poems, helping readers interpret their most cryptic aspects and appreciate their technical finesse. Each poem is followed by an essay offering overall interpretation, putting Horace in context as late-Republican newcomer and vital figure in the development of satire. This work is designed for upper-level students and scholars of classics, but its interest extends to specialists in later European literature.
