William Young Sellar (1825 1890) was a classical scholar who
specialised in the study of Roman poetry. After graduating from
Balliol College, Oxford, in 1843 he held assistant professorships
in various universities before being appointed Professor of
Humanities at Edinburgh University in 1863, a post which he held
until his death. This volume, first published posthumously in 1891,
discusses the forms and development of Roman poetry in the reign of
Augustus (43 BCE 14 CE); it was intended as a companion to his 1877
book on Virgil, also reissued in this series. Sellar provides a
detailed discussion of Horace's many literary styles in their
historical context, discusses the development of Roman elegy from
early Greek forms, and analyses the works of Ovid in detail.
Sellar's meticulous interpretations led to this volume becoming the
standard authority on the development of Roman poetry in the early
Roman Empire.

This is a pre-1923 historical reproduction that was curated for
quality. Quality assurance was conducted on each of these books in
an attempt to remove books with imperfections introduced by the
digitization process. Though we have made best efforts - the books
may have occasional errors that do not impede the reading
experience. We believe this work is culturally important and have
elected to bring the book back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide.
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable,
high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
