Download or read book Horace Satires Book II written by Horace and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The satires explored in this volume are some of the trickiest poems of ancient Rome's trickiest poet. Horace was an ironist, sneaky smart, and prone to hiding things under the surface. His Latin is dense and difficult. The challenges posed by these satires are especially acute because their voices, messages, and stylistic habits are many, and their themes range from the poet's anxieties about the limits of satiric free speech in the first poem to the ridiculous excesses of an outrageously overdone dinner party in the last. For students working at intermediate and advanced levels of Latin, this book makes the satires of Horace's second book of Sermones readable by explaining difficult issues of grammar, syntax, word-choice, genre, period, and style. For scholars who already know these poems well, it offers fresh insights into what satire is, and how these poems communicate as uniquely 'Horatian' expressions of the genre.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Daniel Randolph Deal is a Southern aristocrat, having the required bloodline, but little of the nobility.

Download or read book Bound Hand and Foot and yet Dancing as if Free Satires II 1 II 2 and I 2 from Alexander Pope s Imitations of Horace written by Gerhild Salcher and published by ibidem-Verlag / ibidem Press. This book was released on 2004-03-08 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embedded in a discussion of the 18th century literary practice of imitation, this study offers an in-depth analysis of the three full-length satires from Alexander Pope’s Imitations of Horace. Taking into account aspects such as content, metre, message, personal references, and language, the three satires are compared to their Latin originals, shedding light on how Pope succeeds in transferring the texts into his contemporary world and idiom whilst sticking very closely to the original framework on a larger scale. Thus, they “show the poet bound hand and foot and yet dancing as if free.“

Download or read book Two Old French Satires on the Power of the Keys written by Daron Burrows and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The thirteenth-century French comic dits of Les Escommeniemanz au lecheor and Le Pardon de foutre are two of the earliest vernacular texts to articulate anticlerical satire against the abuse of excommunications and indulgences. In Les Escommeniemanz, a relentless series of excommunications is promulgated against a broad range of social groups accused of activities ranging from the illegal and the immoral, through the socially disruptive, to the profoundly nonsensical and obscene, while in Le Pardon, a cardinal freshly arrived from Rome offers indulgences to groups whose shocking alleged sexual incontinence appears scarcely to merit pardon. Burrows' new edition of two hitherto unedited poems so important to the understanding of lay attitudes towards ecclesiastical authority in thirteenth-century France is complemented by an English translation and a detailed commentary on the texts' literary, linguistic, codicological, ideological, and socio-historical content and context."

Download or read book Kalivi ambana written by Nīlakaṇṭha Dīkṣita and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2005-02 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written over a period of eight hundred years, these works represent alternative approaches to satire. Bhallata sought vengeance on his boorish new king by producing vicious sarcastic verse, "The Hundred Allegories." The disgruntled ninth-century CE court poet speaks of a setting sun, his former king and patron Avanti-varman, being replaced by a flickering firefly, the new king Shankara-varman, who did not continue his predecessor's patronage. The artistry that captivates the Kashmirian Kshemendra in the eleventh century in "The Grace of Guile" is as varied as human nature and just as fallible. He presents himself as a social reformer out to shame the complacent into compliance with Vedic morality. In the seventeenth century CE, Nila-kantha gets straight to the point in his "Mockery of the Kali Era": little can redeem the fallen characters he portrays, so his duty is simply to warn about the corruption of academics, sorcerers, astrologers, physicians, poets, relatives, and others.
