The poem is the first fully preserved Latin hymn whose circumstances of presentation are known, and it is the only lyric of Horace we can be certain was first presented orally. Michael C. J. Putnam offers a close and sensitive reading of this hymn, shedding new light on the richness and virtuosity of its poetry, on the many sources Horace drew on, and on the poem's power and significance as a public ritual. A rich and compelling work, this poem is a masterpiece, Putnam shows, and it represents a crucial link in the development of Rome's outstanding lyric poet.Political poetry, LatinHistory and criticismPolitics and literatureRomeRitual in literatureMagic in literatureRomeIn literaturePolitical poetry, LatinHistory and criticism.Politics and literatureRitual in literature.Magic in literature.874.01Putnam Michael C.
