The Cambridge Companion to Roman Satire (Cambridge Companions to Literature)

Satire as a distinct genre was first developed by the Romans and regarded as completely 'their own'. This Companion's international contributors provide a stimulating introduction to the genre and its individual proponents aimed particularly at non-specialists. Roman satires are explored both as generic, literary phenomena and as highly symbolic and effective social activities. Satire's transformation in late antiquity and reception in more recent centuries is also covered. Satire As A Distinct Genre Of Writing Was First Developed By The Romans In The Second Century B.c.e. Regarded By Them As Uniquely Their Own, Satire Held A Special Place In The Roman Imagination As The One Genre That Could Address The Problems Of City Life From The Perspective Of A Real Roman. In This Cambridge Companion An International Team Of Scholars Provides A Stimulating Introduction To Roman Satire's Core Practitioners And Practices, Placing Them Within The Contexts Of Greco-roman Literary And Political History. Besides Addressing Basic Questions Of Authors, Content, And Form, The Volume Looks To The Question Of What Satire Does Within The World Of Greco-roman Social Exchanges, And Goes On To Treat The Genre's Further Development, Reception, And Translation In Elizabethan England And Beyond. Included Are Studies Of The Prosimetric, Menippean Satires That Would Become The Models For Rabelais, Erasmus, More, And (narrative Satire's Crowning Jewel) Swift.--jacket.
