This collection of recent articles provides convenient access to
some of the best recent writing on Horace's Odes and Epodes.
Formalist, structuralist, and historicizing approaches alike offer
insight into this complex poet, who reinvented lyric at the
transition from the Republic to the Augustan principate. Several
classic studies in French, German, and Italian are here translated
into English for the first time. A thread linking many of the
pieces is the recurring debate over the performance of Horace's
Odes. Fiction? Literal reality? A figurative appropriation of Greek
tradition within the bookish culture of late Hellenism? Arguments
both for and against gain a hearing. Michele Lowrie's introduction
surveys the state of current scholarship and offers guidance on the
seminal issues confronting the interpretation of Horatian lyric
today. Suggestions for further reading and a consolidated
bibliography open avenues for more extensive research.
