A Translation and Interpretation of Horaces Sermones, Book I

English

By (author): Andy Law

Horaces book of Sermones (also called Satires) was his first published work. Rather than a collection of satirical sideswipes, as the genre might have dictated, the book is a wiry, tight, muscular, interlaced hexameter artwork of enormous originality and as far removed from the legacy of satirical writing he inherited as one can imagine. It is the work of a 29-year-old grappling with issues of personal and poetic identity during one of the most important and pivotal times in European history. Geographically, socially and genetically an outsider, Horace earned himself a seat at Romes top creative table, close to the heart of the political engine that was to change Rome forever. His book details a transformational journey from nobody to somebody, and is a simultaneous invention of poet and reinvention of poetic genre.Horaces Sermones have floated in and out of fashion ever since they first appeared, regularly eclipsed by his Odes. Today, rehabilitated, they find space in the higher levels of the school curriculum. This book provides unique insights and will be of interest to all classicists, as well as students studying core influences on European literature. See more
