ISBN 10: 0140455086 ISBN 13: 9780140455083
Seller: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. The Satires of Horace (65-8 BC), written in the troubled decade ending with the establishment of Augustus' regime, provide an amusing treatment of men's perennial enslavement to money, power, glory and sex. Epistles I, addressed to the poet's friends, deals with the problem of achieving contentment amid the complexities of urban life, while Epistles II and the Ars Poetica discuss Latin poetry - its history and social functions, and the craft required for its success. Both works have had a powerful influence on later Western literature, inspiring poets from Ben Jonson and Alexander Pope to W. H. Auden and Robert Frost. The Satires of Persius (AD 34-62) are highly idiosyncratic, containing a courageous attack on the poetry and morals of his wealthy contemporaries - even the ruling emperor, Nero.

THE SATIRES OF PERSIUS Iunctura Callidus Acri.
Language: English
Published by Duckworth Publishing, 1996
ISBN 10: 1853994871 ISBN 13: 9781853994876
Softcover. Condition: Very Good+. Second Edition. " (1996) " has been written in pen to ffep. Very faint creasing to front wrap. Else fine. ; Bristol Classical Paperbacks; 128 pages; This volume, published in 1968, was the first critical study of Persius in English. Unjustly squeezed from students' reading by the satiric giants Juvenal and Horace, Persius has often been regarded as 'difficult' or 'minor' and marginalized, condemned to 'the schooldust of the ages' by the repeated editing of traditional scholars (Clausen, Kissel). What Dessen offers is a close reading within the framework of the new criticism which led classics in the 1960s. She empasises the distinction between 'persona' and poet and argues that Persius' Satires, far from being just 'difficult', are unified and comprehensible through their controlling metaphors, their dominant imagery and word-repetition. In the heady days of post-structuralism, Dessen's approach, pioneering in its way, remains a beacon of stimulating poetic appreciation and one in which students and scholars of Persius will find a sound basis for their further work. A new elegant Foreword by Kenneth Reckford places Dessen's work in its critical context.
