Augusteische Klassik: Vergil, Horaz, Ovid

Niklas Holzberg supplements his introductions to the genres of elegy, epigram, fable, and novel with a chapter introducing three of the most significant authors of antiquity. Following an introduction to the historical background, the works of Virgil, Horace and Ovid are analyzed in separate chapters, providing both an overview and individual interpretations with textual examples. Bibliographic references point the way to further study.
