书籍简介

贺拉斯是奥古斯都统治时期的伟大诗人，从那时起就被视为文化成熟的标志。本书研究了贺拉斯的诗歌如何产生了巨大的影响，但认为在古代文学的传统中理解贺拉斯的诗歌。

卢埃林-摩根（Llewellyn Morgan）引导读者了解贺拉斯变幻莫测的传记，这反映了当时政治和社会的不稳定。他的诗歌，以及他在诗歌中巧妙地构建并展现给我们的生活，都与罗马曾经面临的巨大危机以及皇帝对危机的解决有关。贺拉斯是罗马的桂冠诗人，通过他，我们体验到了那个时代的焦虑和胜利。对后世而言，贺拉斯是美好生活的典范，是开明退休生活的倡导者，同时也是诗歌艺术的典范，甚至在他同时代的杰出诗人中，他也是拉丁语的创造性使用者。

 Horace was the great poets during the reign of Augustus and is seen as mark of cultural sophistication since this time. The book examines how Horace's poetry has exerted enormous influence but argues that it understood within the traditions of ancient literature.

Llewellyn Morgan guides the reader through the dizzying vagaries of Horace's biography, which reflects the political and social instability of the period. His poetry, and the life he artfully constructs and presents to us in it, engages both with the great crisis that Rome had ever faced, and its resolution by the Emperor. Horace is Rome's laureate, and through him we experience the anxieties and triumphs of his age. For posterity, Horace has served for a model of the good life, a promoter of enlightened retirement, but has also exemplified poetic artistry, and is the creative user of the Latin language, even among his remarkable contemporaries.
