The articles included in this volume represent some of the finest
writing on Horace's satires (Sermones) and epistles (Epistulae)
over the past fifty years. Several have previously only been
accessible in specialist journals, while five appear here for the
first time in English translation. All are remarkable for the way
in which they do their work at multiple levels, moving from the
basics of grammar, vocabulary, and syntax to issues of genre,
socio-politics, and beyond. Collectively, these articles underscore
and exemplify the value of close reading, and of paying strict
attention to detail. Starting with the specifics of the poetic
page, they lead us into the various complex and overlapping
discursive systems that Horace's poems both arise from and seek to
address. A specially written Introduction surveys recent
scholarship, and the specific impact of each article included.
