Augustan Poetry and the Roman Republic explores the liminal status
of the Augustan period, with its inherent tensions between a
rhetoric based on the idea of res publica restituta and the
expression of the need for a radical renewal of the Roman political
system. It attempts to examine some of the ways in which the
Augustan poets dealt with these and other related issues by
discussing the many ways in which individual texts handle the idea
of the Roman Republic. Focusing on the works of the major Augustan
poets, Vergil, Horace, Propertius, and Ovid, the contributions in
this collection look at the under-studied aspect of their poetry,
namely the way in which they constructed and investigated images of
the Roman Republic and the Roman past.
