Two thousand years after his death Horace is still recognised as a
unique poet, having exerted marked influence on later European
literature. This collection, first published in 1973, explores the
different aspects of Horace's poetic achievement in his main works:
the Odes, Epistles Satires and Ars Poetica. The essays, written by
internationally-known scholars, include a discussion of the three
worlds of the Satires, and a study of Horace's poetic craft in the
Odes - his greatest technical accomplishment. The final chapter is
devoted entirely to Horace's reputation in England up to the
seventeenth century as 'The Best of Lyrick Poets', and concentrates
on the many English translations which he inspired. The expert
criticism is illustrated throughout by English translations from
the original Latin texts. Horace will appeal to students and
scholars of Latin poetry alike, as well as to those interested in
the reception of classical literature throughout European history.
