Dear Satirists,
For Wednesday, March 25, please do the following.
(1) Read G. B. Conte on Juvenal, who’ll be our exemplar of imperial satire. (I’ll distribute the chapter in class.) Because Conte lumps Juvenal together with his near-contemporary, Persius, you may wish to read only pages 467–8 (general context) and 474–80 (Juvenal’s life and career). Do note anything that resonates with you, so we can discuss it in class.
I’ll slowly be retooling the class, and hope to have everything updated by next Wednesday.
