Horace Satires Book 1

This major new commentary on Horace’s Satires I, for an internationally respected series, is the fruit of long and deep immersion in one of the most complex texts of Latin literature. The first commentary to do justice to the ten poems’ literary, socio-political and philosophical aspects, it synthesises a vast body of scholarship in nearly 400 closely argued pages. The commentary provides all the philological tools necessary for informed reading, but its most exceptional feature is the set of essays accompanying each poem, which offer an original interpretation of the entire work.
