{"product_id":"horace-isbn-9781101907672","title":"Horace","description":"This wide-ranging selection showcases the work of one of ancient Rome’s master poets—and originator of the phrase “carpe diem”—whose influence on poetry can be traced through the centuries into our own time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Quintus Horatius Flaccus, who lived from 65 to 8 BCE, saw the death of the Roman Republic and the beginning of the Roman Empire and was personally acquainted with the emperor Augustus and the poet Virgil. He was famous during his lifetime and since for his odes and epodes, for his satires and epistles, and for \u003ci\u003eArs Poetica\u003c\/i\u003e. His lyric poems, brief and allusive, have been translated into English by a range of famous poets, including Milton, Ben Jonson, John Dryden, William Cowper, A. E. Housman, Ezra Pound, Louis MacNeice, Robert Lowell—and even Queen Elizabeth I and the Victorian prime minister William Gladstone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Horace’s masterly verses have inspired poets from antiquity to modernity, and his injunction to “seize the day” has echoed through the ages. This anthology of superb English translations shows how Horace has permeated English literature for five centuries.Preface \u003cbr\u003eOdes \u003cbr\u003e   Book I \u003cbr\u003e   Book II \u003cbr\u003e   Book III \u003cbr\u003e   Book IV \u003cbr\u003eEpodes \u003cbr\u003eSatires \u003cbr\u003eEpistles  \u003cbr\u003eArs Poetica \u003cbr\u003eList of translators \u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgmentsQuintus Horatius Flaccus, known in English literature as \u003cb\u003eHORACE\u003c\/b\u003e, was a Roman lyric poet who wrote during the reign of Augustus.
