Wauconda, Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers, XVII, 221 p. Paperback. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Lediglich der Schutzumschlag ist leicht berieben und minimal bestoßen, sonst ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar ohne Anstreichungen / Only the dust jacket is slightly rubbed and minimally bumped, otherwise a good and clean copy without markings. - Satura quidem tota nostra est Satire is altogether ours was the claim of the Roman Quintilian, the first century c.E. commentator on rhetorical and literary matters, for the literary world had not previously seen the likes of satire. Not for the faint of heart, satire is characterized by its wide-ranging themes, its tone that is sometimes humorous and distinctively biting, and its undeniable perspicacity. As an antidote to life?s frustrations and human foibles, satire is the undisputed queen of genres. This edition provides selections in both English and Latin, with explanatory notes keyed to the English text, a full introduction to the genre and its practitioners, and an index of names. Roman satire is represented in its full array: the more familiar Horace and Juvenal stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the lesser known Lucilius and Persius. The difficulties presented by Roman satire are thus admirably met by the editors. With this helpful edition in hand, readers will find themselves nodding in recognition, perhaps even agreeing with Juvenal (Satire 1.30): difficile est saturam non scribere it is difficult not to write satire.and even more difficult it is not to read it! / CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS DEDICATION FOREWORD PREFACE A NOTE ON THE LATIN TEXT INTRODUCTION The Roman Satirical Tradition Lucilius Horace Persius Juvenal TEXT AND TRANSLATION Lucilius, fragments 2,3-4,36-37, 70, 87-93 567-573,713-714, 1145-1151 1196-1208 Horace, Satires 1.9 2.1 2.8 Persius, Satires Prologue 1 3 4 Juvenal, Satires 1 3 6 NOTES Lucilius, fragments 2, 3-4, 36-37, 70, 87-93, 567-573, 713-714, 1145-1151, 1196-1208 Horace, Satires 1.9 2.1 2.8 Persius, Satires Prologue 1 3 4 Juvenal, Satires 1 3 6 INDEX OF NAMES ABOUT THE AUTHORS.
