As poems of praise, they delight in poetic excess whether they honour the emperor or the poet's friends. Yet extravagant speech is also capacious speech. It functions as a strategy for conveying the wealth and grandeur of villas, statues and precious works of art as well as the complex emotions aroused by the material and political culture of empire. The Silvae are the product of a divided, self-fashioning voice. Statius was born in Naples of non-aristocratic parents. His position as outsider to the culture he celebrates gives him a unique perspective on it. The Silvae are poems of anxiety as well as praise, expressive of the tensions within the later period of Domitian's reign. 517 3 $aStatius' Silvae & the Poetics of Empire 606 $aOccasional verse, Latin$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLaudatory poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism 606 $aImperialism in literature 606 $aEmperors in literature 607 $aRome$xHistory$yDomitian, 81-96$xHistoriography 607 $aRome$xIn literature 615 0$aOccasional verse, Latin$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLaudatory poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aImperialism in literature. 615 0$aEmperors in literature. 676 $a871/.01 700 $aNewlands$b Carole Elizabeth$0530930 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780060603321 996 $aStatius' Silvae and the poetics of Empire$9908019 997 $aUNINA
