Book Description
The first complete study of Roman verse satire to appear since 1976, this book provides a fresh and exciting survey of the field, taking each of Rome's satirists individually, in their proper order. But 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.
