PDF - Horace and the Rhetoric of Authority

Horace and the Rhetoric of Authority by Ellen Oliensis
English | 28 May 1998 | ISBN: 0521573157 | 256 Pages | PDF | 12 MB

This book explores how Horace's poems construct the literary and social authority of their author. Bridging the traditional distinction between 'persona' and 'author', Ellen Oliensis considers Horace's poetry as one dimension of his 'face' - the projected self-image that is the basic currency of social interactions.
