| Summary: | How do you insert yourself into an artistic canon? How do you establish yourself as a worthy successor to your predecessors while making your own mark on a genre? How do you police a genre's boundaries to keep out the unwanted? With particular attention to authorial and national identity, artistic self-definition and literary reception, this volume shows how four ancient Latin poets, Lucilius, Horace, Persius and Juvenal, asked and answered these questions between the second century BCE and the second century CE as they invented and reinvented the genre of Roman verse Satire. |
