A collection of literary judgements on the work of first-century Hispano-Roman poet Marcus Valerius Martialis, from the second to the 20th centuries. The excerpts trace the reaction to his satire and obscenity from century to century; and document his reputation's zenith in the 16th and 17th centuries, its nadir in Victorian times, and its resurgence in the past few decades.
