  1. The two poets of Paradise lost

    Most Miltonists have treated Paradise Lost as a static design, emphasizing its balance, but McMahon stresses its movement. He explores the differences between the poem's earlier and later books, linking them to the Bard's growth as a poet. The first half of Paradise Lost swells with matter and manner of the classical epic, reflecting, McMahon says, the Bard's aspiration to be a visionary poet in the grand style. A shift occurs in Book VII, however, and by Books XI and XII the Bard composes in a simpler fashion, singing a narrative exegesis of the Bible and exhibiting concern for his audience's edification rather than his own glorification. The later books of the poem, therefore, are presented as morally better than the earlier, according to McMahon. Even more, Milton understood them to be aesthetically better. The change that the Bard and his poetry undergo illustrates Milton's attempt to reform the taste of his readers, to lead them from the pleasures of the grand style to a more austere and biblical poetry.

    Face-saving and self-defacement in the Satires -- Making faces at the mirror: the Epodes and the civil war -- Acts of enclosure: the ideology of form in the Odes -- Overreading the Epistles -- The art of self-fashioning in the Ars poetica. This book explores how Horace's poems construct the literary and social authority of their author. Bridging the traditional distinction between 'persona' and 'author', Ellen Oliensis considers Horace's poetry as one dimension of his 'face' - the projected self-image that is the basic currency of social interactions. She reads Horace's poems not only as works of art but also as social acts of face-saving, face-making and self-effacement. These acts are responsive, she suggests, to the pressure of several audiences: Horace shapes his poetry to promote his authority and to pay deference to his patrons while taking account of the envy of contemporaries and the judgement of posterity. Drawing on the insights of sociolinguistics, deconstruction and new historicism Dr Oliensis charts the poet's shifting strategies of authority and deference across his entire literary career
