COMMENTARY
Horace's first book of verse satires is the earliest fully
extant example of the genre in European literature; it not only
handles moral topics with a persuasive air of sweet reason but
also reveals much of poet's own engaging personality and way of
life. This edition incorporates a new text and prose translation
and is designed to make the poems readily accessible to the modern
reader by elucidating their content, structure and background;
it also explores the artistry which lies behind their easy informality
of style.
P. Michael Brown is Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Classics at Glasgow University. He is the editor of Lucretius De Rerum Natura I.
