Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores some of the many ways poetic elements are woven into the works of the notable Roman historian of the imperial period, Tacitus. The author argues that Tacitus made use of a range of devices to reveal his subjective feelings about the events and people of his time. These included variety, brevity and the use of poetical coloring, where the author explores a deep reverence for an individuals virtue or a strong negative reaction to their vices. Such devices are thought to have been used in order to evoke a specific emotional response from the reader. This volume seeks to explore the nuances of such devices and the position of Tacitus within the literary and historical context of his time.
