Excerpt from The Origin and Growth of the Roman Satiric Poetry The treatise of Casaubon and his edition of Persius, published in 1605, contained the first exhaustive account of the origin and growth of the Roman satiric poetry. His elaborate scrutiny and shrewd sense not only appreciated but answered all vital questions. So far was he in advance of his age, that more than two hundred years passed before his conclusions were questioned. Though many volumes were written in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Ruperti, in 1801, simply reasserted on every essential point the judgment of Casaubon; and for the next thirty years his decisions were undisputed; so that in 1840 a learned critic found it "a weary task to revive discussions which had been handled and rehandled enough and more than enough." The last forty years, however, have changed the aspect of the subject. Hardly one of Casaubon's verdicts has been unassailed; hardly a year passes but some new light arises. The task may still be a weary one, but it is necessary; and the result is pleasant, for it throws us back on Casaubon, and shows that genius is as free of time in criticism as in philosophy or art. "Satira quidem," says Quintilian, "tota nostra est." Its root was as truly Roman as its growth. It arose in verse those rude outbursts in which the primitive Italians gave spontaneous expression to their mirth and mourning, to their gratitude and supplication.

The trademark exuberance of Lucilius, gentleness of Horace, abrasiveness of Persius, and vehemence of Juvenal are the diverse satiric styles on display in this Reader. Witnesses to the spectacular growth of Rome's political and military power, the expansion and diversification of its society, and the evolution of a wide spectrum of its literary genres, satirists provide an unparalleled window into Roman culture: from trials of the urban poor to the smarmy practices of legacy hunters, from musings on satire and the satirist to gruesome scenes from a gladiatorial contest, from a definition of virtue to the scandalous sexual display of wayward women. Provocative and entertaining, challenging and yet accessible, Roman verse satire is a motley dish stuffed to its readers' delights.

In laying the groundwork for a fresh and challenging reading of Roman satire, Kirk Freudenburg explores the literary precedents behind the situations and characters created by Horace, one of Rome's earliest and most influential satirists. Critics tend to think that his two books of Satires are but trite sermons of moral reform--which the poems superficially claim to be--and that the reformer speaking to us is the young Horace, a naive Roman imitator of the rustic, self-made Greek philosopher Bion. By examining Horace's debt to popular comedy and to the conventions of Hellenistic moral literature, however, Freudenburg reveals the sophisticated mask through which the writer distances himself from the speaker in these earthy diatribes--a mask that enables the lofty muse of poetry to walk in satire's mundane world of adulterous lovers and quarrelsome neighbors. After presenting the speaker of the diatribes as a stage character, a version of the haranguing cynic of comedy and mime, Freudenburg explains the theoretical importance of such conventions in satire at large. His analysis includes a reinterpretation of Horace's criticisms of Lucilius, and ends with a theory of satire based on the several images of the satirist presented in Book One, which reveals the true depth of Horace's ethical and philosophical concerns.
