Description:

Paul Allen Miller presents a wide variety of texts by the Latin satirists, featuring selections from Ennius, Lucilius, Horace, Persius, and Juvenal in the original latin. The commentary focuses on the linguistic difficulties and problems of usage, then relates the individual selection to the author's larger oeuvre and its historical context, and finally concerns itself with those aspects of meter and style necessary for an appreciation of the poetry. Lastly, the volume closes with a selection of essays and critical excerpts that both elucidate the genre's most salient features, and help the student understand the history of its modern scholarly reception.
