Inhaltsangabe

Poet's Masks studies Horace's self-representation inthe Epodes and the inner coherence of this iambiccollection on the basis of a careful analysis of theindividual poems. The book evaluates importantaspects of Horace's public and private self-representations in the epodes and criticallycompares thematic roles of the public and privatedomains in the collection. As it emphasizes thevarious power relations that exist between the poetand other characters of the Epodes, Poet's Masksevaluates thematic groupings within the Epodes - thepolitical epodes, the invectives and the poems thatdeal with love and magic - in terms of Horace's self-representation, as well as in terms of poet'sconfrontations with his iambic opponents:mistresses, witches, etc. This study conclusivelyshows that the recurrent motif of confrontationhelps to bring cohesion to the Epodes, a poeticcollection that enforces and obeys internalstructural and rhetorical principles.
