 | Constructing Literature in the Roman Republic
Publication Date: July 21, 2011How the Romans came to have a literature reflecting native and foreign impulses, and how it formed a legacy for subsequent generations have become central questions in the cultural history of the Republic. This book explores the development of Roman literary sensibility from early interest in epic and drama, through invention of satire and eventual enshrining of books in public collections important to Horace and Ovid. The "early" literature is seen to be a product less of the mid-Republic, when poetic texts began to circulate, than of the late Republic, when t...

Publication Date: April 14, 2008| Series: Bollingen (Book 41) George Chapman's translations of Homer--immortalized by Keats's sonnet-- are the most famous in the English language. Swinburne praised their "romantic and sometimes barbaric grandeur," their "freshness, strength, and inextinguishable fire."

Chapman is far nearer Homer than any modern translator in any modern language."This volume presents the original text of Chapman'...

Publication Date: June 30, 1975Poetica 1Meleager of Gadara (c. 140-70 B.C.) was the last and most inventive of the Hellenistic epigrammatists.

|  | The Walking Muse
Publication Date: November 17, 1992In laying the groundwork for a fresh and challenging reading of Roman satire, Kirk Freudenburg explores the literary precedents behind the situations and characters created by Horace, one of Rome's earliest and most influential satirists. Critics tend to think that his two books of Satires are but trite sermons of moral reform - which the poems superficially claim to be - and that the reformer speaking to us is the young Horace, a naive Roman imitator of the rustic, self-made Greek philosopher Bion. By examining Horace's debt to popular comedy and to the co...
