Making Mockery by Ralph Rosen
This book explores the dynamics of comic mockery and satire in Greek and Roman poetry, and argues that poets working with such material composed in accordance with shared generic principles and literary protocols. It encourages a synoptic, synchronic view of such poetry, from archaic iambus through Roman satire.
Rosen offers his readers a richly detailed and subtle analysis of the 'genre' od satire with particular emphasis on the highly fraught relationship between poet and audience* 10/09/2009 *
this book is well worth the attention of all students of classical satire * Jeffrey Henderson, The Classical Review *
