Horace's birthday and deathday / Amicus certus in re incerta cernitur: Epode I / Dreaming about Quirinus: Horace's Satires and the development of Augustan poetry / Biformis vates: the Odes, Catullus and Greek lyric / The Odes: just where do you draw the line? / A wine-jar for Messalla: Carmina 3.21 / Feminine endings, lyric seductions / The uniqueness of the Carmen saeculare and its tradition / Solus sapiens liber est: recommissioning lyric in Epistles I / Poetry, philosophy, politics and play: Epistles I / Horace, Cicero and Augustus, or the poet statesman at Epistles 2.1.256 / Vna cum scriptore meo: poetry, Principate and the traditions of literary history in the Epistle to Augustus / Arnold Bradshaw -- Ian M. Le M. Du Quesnay -- James E.G. Zetzel -- Tony Woodman -- Alan Griffiths -- R.G.M. Nisbet -- Ellen Oliensis -- Alessandro Barchiesi -- Kirk Freudenburg -- John Moles -- Michèle Lowrie -- Denis Feeney.
This book explores the whole range of the output of an exceptionally versatile and innovative poet, from the Epodes to the literary-critical Epistles. Distinguished scholars of diverse background and interests introduce readers to a variety of critical approaches to Horace and to Latin poetry. Close attention is paid throughout to the actual text of Horace, with many of the chapters focusing on reading a single poem. These close readings are then situated in a number of different political, philosophical and historical contexts. The book sheds light not only on Horace but on the general problems confronting Latinists in the study of Augustan poetry, and it will be of value to a wide range of upper-level Latin students and scholars.
