| Description: |
The author, who states that Latin literature gains from being viewed as performance, sees the creation of different characters or "masks" as a result of the Greco-Roman training in rhetoric. The implications of the use of these "masks" for authors and audiences of satire are explored. |
| Synopsis: |
Starting from the conviction that Latin literature gains from being viewed as performance, the author sees the creation of different characters or "masks" in Latin literature as a result of the Greco-Roman training in rhetoric. She treats the texts of Roman satire as drama and focuses on the characters whose voices are heared in these performances: the angry satirist, the mocking satirist and the smiling satirist. She goes on to explore the implications of the use of these "masks" for authors and audiences of satire. |
