Description: Bite and wit characterize two seminal and stellar authors in the history of satirical writing, Persius (AD 34-62) and Juvenal (writing about sixty years later). The latter especially had a lasting influence on English writers of the Renaissance and succeeding centuries.
Brief description: Susanna Morton Braund is Professor of Latin Poetry and its Reception at the University of British Columbia.
Review Quotes: So is there anything in this book that is less than perfect? Hardly, I would say... This volume is a truly great achievement, a most welcome addition to the Loeb Classical Library, and a must-buy for all institutional and private libraries of Latin literature.--Vincent Hunink "Bryn Mawr Classical Review" (11/26/2004 12:00:00 AM)
