While elementary matters have not been neglected in this edition,
particular attention has been devoted to the literary side of Horace’s
work, and to his literary relations. The introduction, besides dealing
with the poet’s life and writings, discusses his lyric metres and
peculiarities of syntax. The commentary is not limited to the baldest
aids, but is intended to give such assistance in interpretation as may
help students to some appreciation of Horace’s art and charm. The
relation of the poet to his Greek models, and especially his influence
on subsequent Latin literature, are clearly shown.
