Synopsis

Lucilius And Horace: A Study In The Classical Theory Of Imitation (1920) by George Converse Fiske is a scholarly work that explores the classical theory of imitation as it was practiced by two prominent Roman poets, Lucilius and Horace. The book begins with an examination of the concept of imitation in ancient Greek and Roman literature, and then focuses specifically on the work of Lucilius and Horace. Fiske argues that both poets were deeply influenced by the classical theory of imitation, which held that writers should model their work on the great works of the past. He examines the ways in which Lucilius and Horace imitated and adapted the works of their predecessors, and how they in turn influenced later writers. Throughout the book, Fiske draws on a wide range of literary and historical sources to support his arguments, and provides detailed analyses of numerous poems by Lucilius and Horace. He also explores the broader cultural context in which these poets worked, including the political and social upheavals of their time. Overall, Lucilius And Horace: A Study In The Classical Theory Of Imitation is a comprehensive and insightful study of two important Roman poets, and their contributions to the classical theory of imitation. It will be of interest to scholars and students of classical literature, as well as anyone interested in the history of literary theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
