Download or read book The Function of Humour in Roman Verse Satire written by Maria Plaza and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-01-26 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maria Plaza sets out to analyse the function of humour in the Roman satirists Horace, Persius, and Juvenal. Her starting point is that satire is driven by two motives, which are to a certain extent opposed: to display humour, and to promote a serious moral message. She argues that, while the Roman satirist needs humour for his work's aesthetic merit, his proposed message suffers from the ambivalence that humour brings with it. Her analysis shows that this paradox is not only socio-ideological but also aesthetic, forming the ground for the curious, hybrid nature of Roman satire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifteen essays collected here argue that Roman verse satire should be viewed primarily as an art form, rather than as a social document or a direct expression of social protest. Originally published between 1956 and 1974, they constitute an impressive attempt to free Roman satire from misinterpretations that arose during the romantic era and that continue to plague scholars in the field. The author rejects the proposition that Juvenal and other satirists expressed spontaneous, unadorned anger and that the critic’s best approach is the study of the historical, social, economic and personal circumstances that led to their statement of that anger. This work develops his thesis that Roman satire was designed as a literary form and that the proper stance of the critic is to elucidate its art. Focusing on the dramatic character of the first-person speaker in the satires of Horace, Persius, and Juvenal, the author shows both how the speaker’s role was shaped to suit the purposes of the individual poems and how that role changed over successive collections of satires. Several essays also discuss the ways in which the satirists employed metaphors and similes and used contemporary ethical and rhetorical themes. Originally published in 1982.

Download or read book Satires of Rome written by Kirk Freudenburg and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-10-25 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This survey of Roman satire locates its most salient possibilities and effects at the center of every Roman reader's cultural and political self-understanding. This book describes the genre's numerous shifts in focus and tone over several centuries (from Lucilius to Juvenal) not as mere 'generic adjustments' that reflect the personal preferences of its authors, but as separate chapters in a special, generically encoded story of Rome's lost, and much lionized, Republican identity. Freedom exists in performance in ancient Rome: it is a 'spoken' entity. As a result, satire's programmatic shifts, from 'open' to 'understated' to 'cryptic' and so on, can never be purely 'literary' and 'apolitical' in focus and/or tone. In Satires of Rome, Professor Freudenburg reads these shifts as the genre's unique way of staging and agonizing over a crisis in Roman identity. Satire's standard 'genre question' in this book becomes a question of the Roman self.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The aim of this study is to track De Rerum Natura along two paths of satire. One is the broad boulevard of satiric literature from the beginnings of Greek poetry to the plays, essays, and broadcast media of the modern world. The other is the narrower lane of Roman verse satire, satura, whose canon begins in the Middle Republic with Ennius and Lucilius and closes with Juvenal, an author of the Flavian era. The first main portion of this book (chapters 2-3) focuses on Lucretius and Roman satura, while the following chapters broaden the scope to satiric elements of Lucretius more generally, but still with plenty of reference to the poets of Roman satura as satirists par excellence. By examining how Lucretius' poem employs the tools, techniques, and tactics of satire-by evaluating how and where in De Rerum Natura the speaker functions as a satirist-we gain, I argue, a fuller, richer understanding of how the poem works and how its poetry interacts with its purported philosophical program. Attention to the role of De Rerum Natura in the more specific tradition of Roman verse satire demonstrates that Lucretius' poem stands as a detour on the genre's highway, a swerve in the trajectory of satura. The numerous satiric passages and frequently satiric narrator of De Rerum Natura draw on earlier Roman satire, and in turn the poem influences the later satiric verse of Horace, Persius, and Juvenal. While De Rerum Natura is not in and of itself a member of the Roman genre of satire, it is an important player in the genre's development"--

This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and Growth of the Roman Satiric Poetry Yet it was still wild and unfettered. Literary influences were not yet at work; and the absence of any contemporary literature is in itself proof that the performers had no settled text. We shall in fact find that the introduction of a plot was a complete revolution and fatal to the very essence of such pieces. Masksll had been worn at the earliest festivals and may have been in use; but there can have been no attempt to represent character. The metre employed was the old Saturnian measure, - a system based indeed upon quantity, but allowing the greatest freedom in eliding, slurring, and strengthening syllables. Dependent to a large extent upon alliteration and a caesural pause marking the point at which one speaker gave place to another, it was rhyme rather than verse. If we imagine the jests which the clown of a modern circus? Levels at the grooms to be spoken in doggerel verse, and his capers to be in time with the music of the band, and if we further sup ose both clown and grooms to be prompted not by pay but by a ove for rough fun, we have an approximate idea of the nature of the Satiric Drama.
