"Studies in the Poetry of Italy, Part I: Roman" by Frank Justus Miller is a scholarly examination of Roman poetry, written in the early 20th century. The work aims to delve into the major forms of Roman poetry, specifically focusing on dramatic, satiric, and epic elements, and their development throughout Roman history. Miller narrows his exploration to prominent authors, including Ennius, Vergil, and Seneca, highlighting their contributions to the poetic landscape of ancient Rome. At the start of the book, the author outlines the historical backdrop against which Roman literature flourished, particularly the influence of Greek culture on the development of Roman poetry. He discusses the emergence of Roman literature alongside Roman societal changes, such as the establishment of the Republic and subsequent conquests, which opened avenues for literary expression. Miller sets the stage for a detailed analysis of key figures in Roman poetry, emphasizing how their works reflect the tumultuous historical and cultural shifts of their time.
