Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the life of Quintus. H. Flaccus, the celebrated Roman poet better known by his pen name Horace. The author follows Horace's transformation from humble beginnings on a small farm in rural Italy through military service and early philosophical pursuits to his literary career in Rome under the patronage of the emperor Augustus.

A society in which Horace, through his writings, would attain an influential voice through his uniquely witty and often controversial literary style.
