Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Roman verse satire is examined as a literary art form rather than merely a social commentary or protest. The collection of essays, published between 1956 and 1974, challenges romantic-era misinterpretations and emphasizes the crafted nature of satire by authors like Juvenal, Horace, and Persius. The author argues for a critical approach that focuses on the artistic elements, including the dynamic roles of the first-person speakers and the use of metaphors and rhetorical themes, showcasing how these elements serve the satirical purpose across different works.
