'The most radical essay in Traditions and Contexts in the Poetry of Horace is Alan Griffith's 'The Odes: Just Where Do You Draw the Line': the evidence he offers is well argued …' Quadrant

'… stimulating collection of essays … many valuable insights.' Andrea Cucchuarelli, University of Siena-Arezzo

This book explores the whole range of the output of an exceptionally versatile and innovative poet, from the Epodes to the literary-critical Epistles. Distinguished scholars of diverse background and interests introduce readers to a variety of critical approaches to Horace and to Latin poetry. Close attention is paid throughout to the actual text of Horace, with many of the chapters focusing on reading a single poem. These close readings are then situated in a number of different political, philosophical and historical contexts. The book sheds light not only on Horace but on the general problems confronting Latinists in the study of Augustan poetry, and it will be of value to a wide range of upper-level Latin students and scholars.
