Satire was a genre of poetry invented and developed by the Romans.
When it came into Juvenal's hands, he stamped his mark upon it:
indignation. His angry voice had an overwhelming influence upon
later European satirists and persists in modern forms of satire. In
this new commentary, Susanna Morton Braund situates Juvenal within
the genre of satire and illuminates his appropriation of the 'grand
style' of declamatory rhetoric and epic poetry for his indignant
persona in Satires 1-5, including the notorious second Satire. The
commentary on each of the Satires is followed by an essay which
offers an interpretation of the poem, including a synthesis of
recent critical thought. These essays, together with the overview
in the Introduction, present the first integrated reading of Book I
as an organic structure.
