The Roman Poets of the Augustan Age: Horace and the Elegiac Poets by W.Y. Sellar is a literary analysis of the poetry produced during the reign of Augustus Caesar in ancient Rome. The book focuses on the works of the poet Horace and the elegiac poets, who wrote in a specific poetic form that combined elegy and lyric poetry. Sellar provides a comprehensive overview of the historical and cultural context in which these poets wrote, including the political climate of Augustus' reign and the literary traditions that influenced their work. He also explores the themes and motifs that are common in their poetry, such as love, death, and the passage of time. The book includes detailed analyses of individual poems and their literary techniques, such as meter, rhyme, and imagery. Sellar also discusses the influence of these poets on later writers, both in Rome and beyond. Overall, The Roman Poets of the Augustan Age is a thorough and insightful exploration of an important period in Roman literature, and an essential read for anyone interested in ancient poetry or literary history.With A Memoir Of The Author By Andrew Lang.
