Uden, James, 'Introduction', The Invisible Satirist: Juvenal and Second-Century Rome (New York , 2014; online edn, Oxford Academic, 23 Oct. 2014), https://doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199387274.003.0001, accessed 8 May 2025.
Abstract
This chapter introduces the basic approach of the book, sets its arguments within the context of previous research, and then offers views on some particularly thorny questions in Juvenal scholarship: (1) How are we to understand the speaking voice of the Satires? To what extent does Juvenal employ a persona to articulate his ideas? (2) How “contemporary” are the poems? What is their relationship to their second-century context? and (3) What is the generic background to the poems? How are we to understand the relationship between Juvenalian satire and epic? The chapter then outlines the structure and argument of the other sections of the book.
