Sommario/riassunto

This work deals with Book Five of Statius' Silvae, which is notable for its concern with Statius himself - one poem is a lament for his father, who was himself a poet and a teacher. It also discusses issues of linguistic usage, textual problems and literary interpretation, such as the use of allusion and the role of genre.
