The political aspects of Augustan poetry have attracted much
academic interest. The aim of this study is to take account of the
effects of Augustan propaganda not only on the work of contemporary
Roman writers, but also on the critical tradition itself. The six
essays presented in this volume explore the political themes in the
work of major poets such as Virgil, Ovid, Horace and Propertius.
Using traditional as well as post-structuralist approaches, the
essays examine the controversies of the Civil Wars, the emerging
issues of treason and free speech and changing representations of
Cleopatra and female power.
