This text sets out to illuminate all the central themes of Roman satire. It offers a synchronic assessment of different aspects of the work of Lucilius, Horace, Persius, and Juvenal: their aims; their styles; and their views on freedom of speech, class patronage, Greeks, and sex. In addition, it contains a sympathetic presentation of the poetry of Lucilius.
