From the Back Cover
This book, a sequel to "Clio and the Poets" (Brill 2002), takes as its point of departure Quintilian's statement that 'historiography is very close to the poets': it examines not only how verse interfaces with historical texts but also how first-century AD Roman historians engage with issues and patterns of thought central to contemporary poetry and with specific poetic texts. Included are substantive discussions of a wide range of authors, including Velleius Paterculus, Lucan, Seneca, Statius, Pliny, Valerius Flaccus, Juvenal, Silius Italicus, and Tacitus.
Review
"...Quintilian's proxima poetis is in fact an apposite characterization of Roman historiography. The editors and the publisher are to be congratulated for this important and thought-provoking collection." Jakub Pigoń in BMCR, 14.8.2011
