Author: E.J. KENNEY, W.V. CLAUSEN
Title: The late Republic. The Cambridge History of Classical Literature, Volume II part 2
Description: Cambridge University Press, 1996. Paperback. Pp: 153. From the sympathetic but searching appraisals in this volume the best writers of the age - Lucan, Seneca, Statius, Juvenal, Tacitus - emerge as men having something important to say and not merely technicians preoccupied with the most extravagant or paradoxical way of saying it. Complementary to these central figures as giving the age its special character and atmosphere are the minor poets, the satirists, the scholars and rhetoricians, the lesser historians, epistolographers and technical writers, whose varied activity provides the background to the main developments. The whole offers a detailed portrait of the literary interests of an age that was of necessity becoming increasingly more conscious of the past and of the problems of coping with its cultural heritage. ISBN: 9780521273749. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
