A full-length study of the Roman poet's life, times, art and the survival of his poetry up to the twentieth century. All aspects of Martial's epigrams are discussed and there is an evaluation of his poetic merits and faults, plus a history of his European admirers, translators, critics, and censors from the Renaissance to the present. All the Latin is translated.

The Unexpected Classic

Martial

First published in 1963, this book is the second of two volumes which bridge the gap between the study of classics and the study of literature and attempt to reconcile the two disciplines. Focusing on satire, this collection of essays offers a critical examination of Latin literature and aims to stimulate critical discussion of a selection of Latin poets. This experimental and ground-breaking book will be of particular interest to students of Roman Literature, Classics and Poetry.

Critical Essays on Roman Literature

Modern-day students set out for sword-and-sorcery adventure in this full-color graphic novel series for kids and adults! When four kids discovered a portal to another world, everyone on Earth learned that magic is real. But only kids can go through the gate, which means only kids can explore the vast Dungeon that waits on the other side. Enter the Dungeon Crawlers' Academy: an institute devoted to training the world's very best young adventurers. Nathan always dreamed of going to the Academy himself, but he's a scrawny kid with a low aptitude for magic. His chances of admission seem hopeless, but a dangerous encounter with a tiny dragon just might be his ticket in. It'll mean a whole new life at the Academy, where a cast of misfit teachers and students devote themselves to learning the secrets of another world--and snagging some of its greatest treasures along the way!
