S. J. Harrison sets out to sketch one answer to a key question in
Latin literary history: why did the period c.39-19 BC in Rome
produce such a rich range of complex poetical texts, above all in
the work of the famous poets Vergil and Horace? Harrison argues
that one central aspect of this literary flourishing was the way in
which different poetic genres or kinds (pastoral, epic, tragedy,
etc.) interacted with each other and that that interaction itself
was a prominent literary subject. He explores this issue closely
through detailed analysis of passages of the two poets' works
between these dates. Harrison opens with an outline of generic
theory ancient and modern as a basis for his argument, suggesting
how different poetic genres and their partial presence in each
other can be detected in the Latin poetry of the first century BC.
