Thirty-four newly commissioned chapters from international experts provide a comprehensive overview of recent approaches to Statius, discuss the fundamental issues and themes of his poetry, and suggest new fruitful areas for research. All of his works are considered: the \u003ci\u003eThebaid\u003c\/i\u003e, his longest extant epic; the \u003ci\u003eAchilleid\u003c\/i\u003e, his unfinished epic; and the \u003ci\u003eSilvae\u003c\/i\u003e, his collected short poetry. Particular themes explored include the social, cultural, and political issues surrounding his poetry; his controversial aesthetic; the influence of his predecessors upon his poetry; and the scholarly and literary reception of his poetry in subsequent ages to the present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William J.
