The Roman Poets Of The Augustan Age: Horace And The Elegiac Poets is a book written by W. Y. Sellar that explores the works of two of the most important poets of the Augustan Age in ancient Rome. The book begins with an introduction to the historical and cultural context of the Augustan Age, which was a period of great literary and artistic achievement in Rome. It then delves into the life and works of Horace, one of the most celebrated poets of the time, and his contributions to the genre of lyric poetry. The book also examines the works of the elegiac poets, such as Tibullus, Propertius, and Ovid, who were known for their poignant and melancholic verse. The author provides a detailed analysis of the themes, styles, and literary techniques used by these poets, as well as their influence on later literary movements. The book is a valuable resource for students and scholars of ancient Roman literature, as well as anyone interested in the history of poetry and literary criticism.With A Memoir Of The Author By Andrew Lang. Includes Chapters On The Life And Personal Characteristics Of Horace, The Satires, Horace As A Moralist, Horace As A Literary Critic, Lyrical Poet (The Epodes And The Odes), And The Elegiac Poets.
