Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Drawing from a wealth of literary and historical sources, this book provides a thorough and authoritative look at Latin literature from the Augustan Age through the end of the first century AD. The author explores this era's major literary genres, including epic, drama, satire, and oratory, arguing that the decline in republican political life forced many talented individuals to seek expression through literature. The book also sheds light on the role of education in shaping literary production during this time, arguing that a prevailing emphasis on rhetoric and declamation influenced the style and content of literary works.
