Post Augustan Poetry is a book written by Hiram E. Butler that delves into the poetry produced in the period following the Augustan Age in English literature. The Augustan Age was a period of great literary achievement in England, and the poets who came after this era faced the daunting task of living up to the standards set by their predecessors. Butler's book examines how these poets approached this challenge and how they developed their own unique styles and voices.The book covers a wide range of poets and their works, including Alexander Pope, Samuel Johnson, Thomas Gray, and William Cowper, among others. Butler analyzes their poetry in detail, discussing the themes, techniques, and stylistic choices that distinguish their work from that of the Augustan poets. He also places their poetry in its historical and cultural context, exploring how it reflects the changing social and political landscape of England in the 18th and early 19th centuries.Overall, Post Augustan Poetry is an insightful and comprehensive exploration of an important period in English literature. It will be of interest to anyone studying the history of English poetry or the cultural and intellectual history of the period.The most curious and in some respects the most remarkable work that the Silver Age has bequeathed to us is a fragment of a novel, the Satyricon of Petronius Arbiter, Its author is generally identified with Titus Petronius, the friend and victim of Nero. Tacitus has described him in a passage, remarkable even among Tacitean portraits for its extraordinary brilliance. 'His days he passed in sleep, his nights in the business and pleasures of life. Indolence had raised him to fame, as energy raises others, and he was reckoned not a debauchee and spendthrift, like most of those who squander their substance, but a man of refined luxury.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
