Making Mockery: The Poetics of Ancient Satire - Classical Culture and Society
Rosen, Ralph (Professor of Classical Studies, Professor of Classical Studies, University of Pennsylvania)
This book explores the dynamics of comic mockery and satire in Greek and Roman poetry, and argues that poets working with such material composed in accordance with shared generic principles and literary protocols. It encourages a synoptic, synchronic view of such poetry, from archaic iambus through Roman satire.
