READ [PDF] Juvenal: Satire 6 (Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics)

Description :
Juvenal's sixth Satire is a masterpiece of comic hyperbole, an
outrageous rant against women and marriage which, in its
breadth and density, represents the high point of the
misogynistic literature of classical antiquity. The Introduction
situates Juvenal within the wider tradition of Roman satire,
interrogates afresh the poem's architecture and recurrent
themes, shows how Juvenal systematically attributes to his
monstrous women the inverse of the Roman wife's canonical
virtues, traces the various literary currents which infuse the
Satire, and lastly addresses the much-discussed issue of the
poetic voice or persona from a sociohistorical as well as a
theoretical perspective. Above all, the commentary strives to
locate Juvenal in his historical, literary and cultural context,
while simultaneously affording assistance with the nuts and
bolts of the Latin, and always keeping in view two key
questions: what was Juvenal's purpose in writing the Satire?
How seriously was it meant to be taken?
