Writing, Performance, and Authority in Augustan Rome
Lowrie, Michele (Professor of Classics, University of Chicago)
An exploration of the relationship between poetry, song, and authority in Augustan Rome. Michele Lowrie argues that the medium of writing, as opposed to song, could offer an escape from current social and political demands by shifting the focus toward the readership of posterity.
