Besides addressing basic questions of authors, content, and form, the volume looks to the question of what satire “does” within the world of Greco-Roman social exchanges, and goes on to treat the genre’s further development, reception, and translation in Elizabethan England and beyond. Regarded by them as uniquely “their own,” satire held a special place in the Roman imagination as the one genre that could address the problems of city life from the perspective of a “real Roman.” In this Cambridge Companion an international team of scholars provides a stimulating introduction to Roman satire’s core practitioners and practices, placing them within the contexts of Greco-Roman literary and political history. The Cambridge Companion to Roman Satire Satire as a distinct genre of writing was first developed by the Romans in the second century bce.
