Originally published in 1967. In this study of the English Augustan satirists, and the Roman and subsequent authors who were their models, Professor Paulson shows how rhetoric relates to imitation, persuasion to presentation, and the imitation of the satirist to the imitation of the satiric object. He illustrates the tendency of the satirist to invade his own fiction and imitate not the prime object of his satire but the satiric persona, which consequently takes on a life of its own. By analyzing the satiric fictions of the precursors of the Augustans, the author reveals the elements they bequeathed to those who rode the high crest of the satiric wave in England, before the art of satire became submerged in the deepening trough of sentimental romanticism.Paulson shows the Tories Dryden, Pope, and Swift and the Whigs Addison and Steele to be the heirs of a long line of satirists ancient and modern, from Horace, Juvenal, Lucian, Apuleius, and Petronius to Rabelais, Cervantes and the English Elizabethan and Civil War poets. Taking Swift as his main example, Paulson examines the dualism of satire in its most interesting and ambiguous modes, and as the embodiment of rhetorical devices that are as complex mimetically as they are rhetorically.

Juvenal (ca. 60-140 n. Chr.) ist der letzte bedeutende Repräsentant der römischen Verssatire. Die Art, wie er sich in diese dynamische Gattung eingeschrieben hat, war prägend für die nachfolgende Satire, die als Schreibmodus unabhängig von formalen Charakteristika wie dem Hexameter fortlebt. Die Einführung verschafft einen Überblick über literaturtheoretische und sozialhistorische Fragen, die für das Verständnis der Satiren Juvenals zentral sind: das Verhältnis zwischen historischem Autor und textimmanentem Sprecher (persona-Theorie), die nicht mehr funktionierende Klient-Patron-Beziehung, rollenabweichendes Verhalten von Männern und Frauen der sozialen und politischen Elite, Konzepte von Homosexualität etc. In exemplarischen Einzelinterpretationen werden Juvenals 16 Satiren in ihrer thematischen Vielfalt vorgestellt. Juvenals anhaltende Wirkung wird über Jahrhunderte hinweg bis zur Gegenwart schlaglichtartig verfolgt. Zu seinen bekanntesten Satiren gehört die dritte über Rom, die im 18. Jahrhundert von Samuel Johnson und in unserer Zeit von Durs Grünbein frei adaptiert wurde, der "Bruder Juvenal" als ersten Großstadtdichter bezeichnet. Christine Schmitz lehrt als Professorin für Klassische Philologie/Latinistik an der Universität Münster. Forschungsschwerpunkte: Römische Satire und ihre mittellateinische Rezeption, antikes Epos, Epigramm (Martial), antiker Roman (Apuleius), Mythos und Literatur, Rezeption der antiken Mythologie, lateinische Dichtung der Spätantike und Renaissance.****************Juvenal (approx. AD 60-140) was the last important representative of Roman satire in verse. His influence on the genre has made a significant impact on our understanding of the satiric mode. The introduction provides an overview regarding questions of a literary-theoretical as well as a socio-historic nature, which are quintessential for a comprehensive reading of Juvenal's satires: the connection between author and narrator (persona theory), the no-longer-functioning relationship between client and patron, the behaviour of men and women of the social and political elite diverging from traditional gender roles, concepts of homosexuality etc. Through exemplary interpretations Juvenal's 16 satires are presented individually showing their thematic range. Highlighting relevant milestones, the continuing impact of Juvenal's satires throughout the centuries up to the present day will be outlined. The third satire dealing with the city of Rome is considered one of the best-known satires. Samuel Johnson freely adapted it in his London in the 18th century, and Durs Grünbein has done so again in our times, calling "Brother Juvenal" the first urban poet. Christine Schmitz is a professor of Classical Philology/Latin Studies at the University of Münster. Her main research interests are Roman satire and its reception in medieval Latin literature, the ancient epic, the epigram (Martial), the ancient novel (Apuleius), myth and literature, the literary reception of ancient mythology, Latin poetry of late antiquity and the Renaissance.
