The Satires of Horace (BCPaperbacks)

'A systematic study of all the Satires, [this book includes] for each Satire an exposition of argument and structure illustrated by pieces of either idiomatic translation of paraphrase, a description ofhistorical and social background, and comments on the quality of the poem . . . this happy blend of historical scholarship and literary criticism is aimed at a wide audience.'
