The last decades have seen a lively interest in Roman verse satire,
and this collection of essays introduces the reader to the best of
modern critical writing on Persius and Juvenal. The eight articles
on Persius range from detailed analyses of his fine technique to
readings inspired by theoretical approaches such as New
Historicism, Reader-Response Criticism, and Dialogics. The nine
selections on Juvenal focus upon the pivotal question in modern
Juvenalian criticism: how serious is the poet when he voices his
appallingly misogynist, homophobic, and xenophobic moralism? The
contributors challenge the straightforward equivalence of author
and speaker in a variety of ways, and they also point up the
technical aspects of Juvenal's art. Three papers have been newly
translated for this volume, and all Latin quotations are also given
in English. A specially written Introduction provides a useful
conspectus of recent scholarship.
