Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman philosopher and dramatic critic Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65-3 B.C.), known in English as Horace, was also the most famous lyric poet of his age. Written in the troubled decade ending with the establishment of Augustus's regime, his Satires provide trenchant social commentary on men's perennial enslavement to money, power, fame, and sex. Not as frequently translated as his Odes, in recent decades the Satires have been rendered into prose or bland verse. Horace continues to influence modern lyric poetry, and our greatest poets continue to translate and marvel at his command of formal style, his economy of expression, his variety, and his mature humanism. Horace's comic genius has also had a profound influence on the Western literary tradition through such authors as Swift, Pope, and Boileau, but interest in the Satires has dwindled due to the difficulty of capturing Horace's wit and formality with the techniques of contemporary free verse. A. M. Juster's striking new translation relies on the tools and spirit of the English light verse tradition while taking care to render the original text as accurately as possible.

Book excerpt: English Satires is a compelling anthology that encapsulates the brilliant wit and razor-sharp critique that have defined English satirical writing across ages. This collection weaves together a rich tapestry of works that span from the pithy, comedic tales of Chaucer to the keen societal observations of Swift and Pope, embracing a diversity of literary forms including poetry, prose, and the essay. The anthology reveals the evolution of satirical techniques, showcasing standout pieces that have left an indelible mark on literary tradition, all while maintaining a cohesive exploration of themes such as human folly, societal norms, and political arrogance.

From Jonathan Swifts acerbic prose to Robert Burns' lyrical mastery and Daniel Defoe's pioneering narratives, each author brings a unique voice that reflects diverse historical and cultural contexts. Together, they represent significant periods in literature, from the Renaissance to the Romantic era, highlighting how satire has served as a powerful tool for social and political commentary. 'English Satires' invites readers to dive into the depths of English literary satire, offering a unique lens to view the subtlety, complexity, and evolution of this enduring genre. Through this anthology, one gains an unparalleled opportunity to understand the dialogues between authors from different eras, each critiquing their society in ways that remain remarkably relevant today. This collection is not only an essential academic resource but also a treasure trove for anyone looking to appreciate the art of satire and its significant impact on English literature and beyond.
Download or read book The Sixteen Satires written by Juvenal and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-05-27 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps more than any other writer, Juvenal (c. AD 55-138) captures the splendour, the squalor and the sheer energy of everyday Roman life. In The Sixteen Satires he evokes a fascinating world of whores, fortune-tellers, boozy politicians, slick lawyers, shameless sycophants, ageing flirts and downtrodden teachers. A member of the traditional land-owning class that was rapidly seeing power slip into the hands of outsiders, Juvenal also creates savage portraits of decadent aristocrats - male and female - seeking excitement among the lower orders of actors and gladiators, and of the jumped-up sons of newly-rich former slaves. Constantly comparing the corruption of his own generation with its stern and upright forebears, Juvenal's powers of irony and invective make his work a stunningly satirical and bitter denunciation of the degeneracy of Roman society

Book Synopsis The Practice of Satire in England, 1658–1770 by : Ashley Marshall
Download or read book The Practice of Satire in England, 1658–1770 written by Ashley Marshall and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exhaustive study of satire in the long eighteenth century. Outstanding Academic Title, Choice In The Practice of Satire in England, 1658–1770, Ashley Marshall explores how satire was conceived and understood by writers and readers of the period. Her account is based on a reading of some 3,000 works, ranging from one-page squibs to novels. The objective is not to recuperate particular minor works but to recover the satiric milieu—to resituate the masterpieces amid the hundreds of other works alongside which they were originally written and read. The long eighteenth century is generally hailed as the great age of satire, and as such, it has received much critical attention. However, scholars have focused almost exclusively on a small number of canonical works, such as Gulliver's Travels and The Dunciad, and have not looked for continuity over time. Marshall revises the standard account of eighteenth-century satire, revealing it to be messy, confused, and discontinuous, exhibiting radical and rapid changes over time. The true history of satire in its great age is not a history at all. Rather, it is a collection of episodic little histories.

Book Synopsis “Bound Hand and Foot and yet Dancing as if Free” Satires II 1, II 2, and I 2 from Alexander Pope’s Imitations of Horace by : Gerhild Salcher
Download or read book “Bound Hand and Foot and yet Dancing as if Free” Satires II 1, II 2, and I 2 from Alexander Pope’s Imitations of Horace written by Gerhild Salcher and published by ibidem-Verlag / ibidem Press. This book was released on 2004-03-08 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embedded in a discussion of the 18th century literary practice of imitation, this study offers an in-depth analysis of the three full-length satires from Alexander Pope’s Imitations of Horace. Taking into account aspects such as content, metre, message, personal references, and language, the three satires are compared to their Latin originals, shedding light on how Pope succeeds in transferring the texts into his contemporary world and idiom whilst sticking very closely to the original framework on a larger scale. Thus, they “show the poet bound hand and foot and yet dancing as if free.“
