Overview

A detailed analysis of each Horatian poem explores the complex and subtle intertextual relationship between Pope's Imitations of Horace and their originals which are printed alongside. The text emphasizes the radical nature of his interpretation and demonstrates how Horace's most significant themes are reworked as topics of his own poetry.

Synopsis
