This rich anthology documents the wide variety of translations, adaptations, and imitations of Juvenal in English poetry from the 16th century to the present day. Taking Lucilius as his model, Juvenal attacked folly and vice, directing his satire towards symptoms of the ills of society. Martin Winkler's superb selection includes works by poets as various as John Skelton, Ben Jonson, William Wordsworth and Robert Lowell.
