Satire, written in the verse of heroic epic but focused on the evils of contemporary society, was ancient Rome's original contribution to world literature. Two great practitioners of this art, Persius and Juvenal, wrote under the early emperors. Inspired by their Republican predecessors, both radically reinvented the genre.
A Companion to Persius and Juvenal breaks new ground in its in-depth focus on both authors as "satiric successors"; detailed individual contributions suggest original perspectives on their work, and provide an in-depth exploration of Persius' and Juvenal's afterlives. * Provides detailed and up-to-date guidance on the texts and contexts of Persius and Juvenal * Offers substantial discussion of the reception of both authors, reflecting some of the most innovative work being done in contemporary Classics * Contains a thorough exploration of Persius' and Juvenal's afterlives
