Author:
In what questions are scholars of Horace currently interested? What 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 late Epistles. It also suggests new scholarly approaches to the poet, providing various ways of interpreting Horace’s background, genre categories, metaphors, and ethics. The target readership consists of scholars new to the field seeking to familiarize themselves swiftly with the formidable bibliography, and of specialists interested in a different perspective on this important but notoriously evasive author.
Andreas T. Zanker is Associate Professor of Classics at Amherst College. He is the co-editor of Horace and Seneca: Interactions, Intertexts, Interpretations (2017), and his most recent monograph is Metaphor in Homer: Time, Speech, and Thought (2019).
