Horace's Narrative Odes
Lowrie, Michele (Assistant Professor of Classics, Assistant Professor of Classics, New York University)
This book analyses the different use of lyric and narrative in Horace's Odes. On the formal level, numerous odes contain narration. Together they tell a larger story about the aesthetic and political demands on the poet's development as a lyrist. At issue is whether Horace can ever truly become a poet of praise.
