Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book unearths the connection between the founding fathers of satire: Lucilius and Horace. The author shows that the two were bound by a shared understanding and employment of the literary ideals and rhetorical theories of their time. By examining fragments of Lucilius' works, and comparing them to the satires of Horace, the author argues for a profound relationship between the two poets. Through an analysis of stylistic similarities, themes, and language, the book establishes Horace's conscious adherence to the theories of imitation prevalent in the era. This adherence did not translate to unoriginal imitation, but rather a transformation of Lucilius' themes, resulting in the perfection of satire that characterizes Horace's work. This groundbreaking study offers valuable insights into the essence of literary imitation and originality, as well as the development of satire as a genre. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
