Henderson's essays celebrate the energetic self-mockery that powers much of Roman poetry. They range widely over comedy, lyric, bucolic, and, in particular, the Roman speciality of satire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Henderson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198150776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198150770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.32h x 6.68w x 1.13d","brand":"John Henderson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419008778495,"sku":"9780198150770","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82c88eee-d3f6-4319-8c2e-2cbba687352a.jpg?v=1761508889","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writting-down-rome-satire-comedy-john-henderson-9780198150770","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
