Satires of Rome: Threatening Poses from Lucilius to JuvenalCambridge University Press, 25. 10. 2001 - 308 strán (strany) 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. |
