This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and Growth of the Roman Satiric Poetry The treatise of Casaubon and his edition of Persius, published in 1605, contained the first exhaustive account of the origin and growth of the Roman satiric poetry. His elaborate scrutiny and shrewd sense not only appreciated but answered all vital questions. So far was he in advance of his age, that more than two hundred years passed before his conclusions were questioned. Though many volumes were written in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Ruperti, in 1801, simply reasserted on every essential point the judgment of Casaubon; and for the next thirty years his decisions were undisputed; so that in 1840 a learned critic found it "a weary task to revive discussions which had been handled and rehandled enough and more than enough." The last forty years, however, have changed the aspect of the subject. Hardly one of Casaubon's verdicts has been unassailed; hardly a year passes but some new light arises. The task may still be a weary one, but it is necessary; and the result is pleasant, for it throws us back on Casaubon, and shows that genius is as free of time in criticism as in philosophy or art. "Satira quidem," says Quintilian, "tota nostra est." Its root was as truly Roman as its growth. It arose in verse those rude outbursts in which the primitive Italians gave spontaneous expression to their mirth and mourning, to their gratitude and supplication.

Download or read book Juvenal: Satires Book V written by John Godwin and published by Aris and Phillips Classical Te. This book was released on 2020-10 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juvenal's fifth and final book of Satires consists of three complete poems and one fragment and continues and completes his satirical assessment of the Rome of the early second century AD. The poems treat us to a scandalised exposure of folly and vice and also the voice of sweet reason as the poet advises us how to live our lives - all delivered in the hugely entertaining tones of a great master of the Latin language. There is here laugh-out-loud humour, razor-sharp descriptions of the sights, sounds and smells of ancient Rome and also some of the most moving lines of this extraordinary poet. All four poems promote the value of human life and the need to accept our lives without worshipping the false gods of money, power or superstition. Satires 13 and 14 both deal with our need to use money without being enslaved by it, Satire 15 is an astonishing tour de force description of the cannibalism perpetrated in a vicious war in Egypt, while the final unfinished poem in the collection looks from a worm's-eye view at the advantages enjoyed by men enlisted in the Praetorian guard. The Introduction sets Juvenal in the history of Roman Satire, explores the style of the poems and also asks how far they can be read as in any sense serious, given the ironic pose adopted by the satirist. The text is accompanied by a literal English translation and the commentary (which is keyed to important words in the translation and aims to be accessible to readers with little or no Latin) seeks to explain both the factual background to the poems and also the literary qualities which make this poetry exciting and moving to a modern audience.

Download or read book Satires written by Horace and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Satires of Horace offer a hodgepodge of genres and styles: philosophy and bawdry; fantastic tales and novelistic vignettes; portraits of the poet, his contemporaries, and his predecessors; jibes, dialogue, travelogue, rants, and recipes; and poetic effects in a variety of modes. For all their apparent lightheartedness, however, the poems both illuminate and bear the marks of a momentous event in world history, one in which Horace himself played an active role--the death of the Roman Republic and the birth of the Principate. John Svarlien's lively blank-verse translation reflects the wide range of styles and tones deployed throughout Horace's eighteen sermons or conversations, deftly reproducing their distinctive humor while tracking the poet's changing mannerisms and moods. David Mankin's Introduction offers a brief account of the political upheavals in which Horace participated as well as the social setting in which his Satires were produced, and points up hallmarks of the poet's distinctive brand of satire. His detailed commentary offers a behind-the-scenes look at Roman society and an often between-the-lines examination of a key work of one of Rome's sharpest observers.

Download or read book Writing Down Rome written by John Henderson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1998-12-17 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a series of controversial essays, this book examines the Roman penchant for denigration, and in particular self-denigration, at the expense of Roman culture. Comedy in Republican Rome radically transformed both itself and the culture from which it sprang: in Poenulus, Plautus laughed at Roman depreciation of Carthage; in Adelphoe, Terence turned on his audience in provocation. The comic Roman poets played with self-mockery: in Eclogue III, Virgil tests his audience's security in judging peasant unpleasantness; in Odes III.22, Horace sends up his own pious rusticity down on the farm. In the second half of the book, Roman verse satire is the subject: the genre of male bragging mocks its own masculine aggression. The great Latin satirists make fun of making fun: Horace, Satires I.9, shows up the politics of humour, unmanned by his own good manners; Persius nails his own weaknesses in fortifying himself against the world; Juvenal, Satire 1, loathes the literary scene he bids to dominate. The book shows a vital ingredient of Roman poetry to be an energetic surge of urbane banter directed towards Roman culure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Satires of Juvenal: With Prolegomena and English Notes Subsequently to his school training, it is most likely that be devoted himself to the study of rhetoric, not with any View to making a professional use of it, but purely as a good means of intellectual discipline. From a.d. 70 to 94 during the reign of Vespasian and the early part of that of Domitian - he probably did not -write at all. It was in the year 94 that he was banished to Egypt, owing to his having, for some reason or other of which we know nothing, offended the prince - a not very difficult thing in those days. In the year 96 Domitian was killed, and Nerve succeeded him. J uvenal returned to Rome, and about five years afterwards gave to the world a volume of Satires which may probably have been conceived, if they were not executed, during his compulsory absence from the Roman capital. From that time till the end of Trajan's reign, he probably wrote continuously. That the date of his later compositions was at any rate not earlier than this period may be argued from the allusion in the fifth Satire to the banishment of Marius Prisons, which occurred about the commencement of the second century, when Trajan was still upon the throne. How long he lived, and where he died, is all mere matter of conjecture. Mr. Macleane, who is one of the few classical critics that have constructed a life of Juvenal purely from the internal evidence of his writings, has thought it probable that he did not die before the accession of Antoninus Pius in a.d. 138, at which time he would have been eighty years of age.
