#"The U Creates"Join us to celebrate this book Roman Satire by Jennifer Ferriss-Hill, Professor of Classics and Senior Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs and College Diversity, College of Arts and Sciences.
How do you insert yourself into an artistic canon? How do you establish yourself as a worthy successor to your predecessors while making your own mark on a genre? How do you police a genre’s boundaries to keep out the unwanted? With particular attention to authorial and national identity, artistic self-definition, and literary reception, this volume shows how four ancient Latin poets—Lucilius, Horace, Persius, and Juvenal—asked and answered these questions between the second century BCE and the second century CE as they invented and reinvented the genre of Roman verse Satire.
Jennifer Ferriss-Hill is Professor of Classics and Senior Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs and College Diversity. She received her A.B. in Classics summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Princeton University (2002) and her Ph.D. in Classical Philology from Harvard University (2008). She has published three monographs (Cambridge UP, 2015; Princeton UP, 2019; Brill 2022) and numerous articles on Roman Satire, Augustan Literature, and Athenian Old Comedy.
