Abstract

How has research on Horace’s poetry developed over the past century? In what questions are scholars currently interested? What untapped opportunities does this core Roman author offer twenty-first-century critics? This book discusses recent work on Horace by genre, moving from the early Satires through to the Epistles and Art of Poetry. It also goes over various new scholarly approaches to the poet, for instance the study of Horace’s genre categories and metaphors against the backdrop of findings in the modern cognitive sciences and linguistics. The book further contains investigations of Horace’s engagement with the institution of Roman slavery in the Satires, and offers a new approach to Horatian ethics and the “golden mean.” The target readership consists both of scholars new to the field who are seeking to familiarize themselves swiftly with the formidable bibliography, and of specialists interested in a fresh perspective on this important but notoriously evasive author.
