Index
The poems of Horace's second book of Satires, for the most part
written in the newly-adopted dialogue form, display great literary
and intellectual sophistication, artistic skill and charm. The
intention of this edition is to supply sufficient background information
to enable the text to be read with understanding. The emphasis
is on the social context, the history of satire in Rome, and the
ethical-philosophical content.
Frances Muecke is Senior Lecturer in the School of Archaeology, Classics and Ancient History at the University of Sydney.

SOME COMMENTS BY REVIEWERS
"Excellent volume, I do not think there is anything
wrong-headed in the whole book." Classicum
"Wide-ranging, up-to date, continually impresses by the sophistication
and care for detail. It is impossible here to do justice to the
quality and aptness of Muecke's detailed observation." Prudentia
