This book, first published in 1993 and a celebration of the
bimillennium of Horace's death and a successor to Ovid Renewed
(Cambridge University Press, 1988), explores in a balanced and
comprehensive way, the presence of Horace in English letters and
culture from the Renaissance onwards, in the form of a series of
critical essays. It shows that there has been a continuous interest
in Horace throughout the modern period, whereas it is often
supposed that Horace's influence was only of central importance in
the eighteenth century. Horace indeed is a major (if often hidden)
element in the English poetic tradition, both directly and through
the imitation and appropriation of his works by Wyatt, Jonson,
Dryden, Pope and others. The book also casts fresh light on the
character and interpretation of Horace, things intimately connected
with the historical 'reception' of his works, particularly by some
of their most influential and sensitive readers, the great English
poets. The collection is aimed at a wide and general readership.
