Martial's Wit And Humor is a book written by Virginia Judith Craig and published in 1912. The book is a collection of witty and humorous epigrams by the Roman poet Martial. The epigrams, which are short poems or sayings, cover a wide range of topics such as love, friendship, politics, and daily life. The book contains over 500 of Martial's epigrams, each one translated into English by the author. The translations are faithful to the original Latin text and capture the humor and wit of Martial's writing. In addition to the epigrams, the book also includes an introduction that provides background information on Martial and his work. The introduction gives readers an understanding of the historical context in which Martial wrote and the literary traditions that influenced his work. Overall, Martial's Wit And Humor is a delightful and entertaining book that offers a glimpse into the world of ancient Rome through the eyes of one of its most celebrated poets. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Roman literature or the art of wit and humor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
