Figuring Genre in Roman Satire

ISBN: 9780195183306 出版年：2006 页码：191 Keane, Catherine Oxford University Press

Horace, Persius, and Juvenal, the verse satirists of ancient Rome, developed a unique mode of social criticism by borrowing from their culture's existing methods of entertainment and moral judgment. Keane's analysis of the satiric genre reveals its debt to four key Roman practices: theater, public violence, legal process, and teaching.
