Sinopsis ISBN: 9780521006279
Satire as a distinct genre of writing was first developed by the Romans in the second century BCE. 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 of Rabelais, Erasmus, More, and (narrative satire's crowning jewel) Swift.
