The author focuses on the period from Caesar's dictatorship to the early 5th century AD, an era which saw significant literary development across genres. The minor poets studied in this volume were highly influential in shaping Latin literature, and their works provide insights into the social and political climate of this period. The author explores concepts such as the Epicurean understanding of morality, the importance of reputation, the ubiquity of superstition, and the nature of love in the period, bringing together verse, biography, and the historical context in which these poets lived and wrote to create a vivid and enjoyable account of the subject matter.
