Statius' Silvae and the Poetics of Empire
Newlands, Carole E. (University of Wisconsin, Madison)
Although traditionally derided by critics, this study argues that Statius' Silvae offer fascinating insights into the history, politics, art and literature of the Flavian period. They celebrate and explore a flourishing literary and artistic culture which was largely suppressed after the Emperor Domitian's assassination in AD 96.
