Omschrijving

and Persius, translated by William Gifford.The Satires of Juvenal and Persius is a collection of satirical poems written by two ancient Roman poets, Juvenal and Persius. This particular edition was translated into English by William Gifford and published in 1848. Juvenal's satires are known for their biting wit and criticism of Roman society, particularly its corruption and decadence. He covers a range of topics, from the hypocrisy of politicians to the excesses of the wealthy. Persius, on the other hand, focuses more on philosophical and moral issues, using satire to critique the flaws of human nature. Gifford's translation aims to capture the essence of the original Latin poems while making them accessible to a modern English-speaking audience. The book includes notes and commentary to provide context and explanation for the historical and cultural references made in the poems. Overall, The Satires of Juvenal and Persius is a fascinating look into the social and political climate of ancient Rome, as well as a testament to the enduring power of satire as a means of social commentary.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
