Summary: "The Roman Poets of the Republic, 2nd edition" by W. Y. Sellar is a scholarly examination of Latin poetry written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the characteristics, influences, and merits of Roman poets during the Republic, particularly focusing on their connection to Greek literature and their role in shaping Roman cultural identity. It explores various poets across different periods, offering insights into their themes, styles, and the social context in which they wrote. The opening of the work sets the stage for an in-depth analysis of Roman poetry and its historical significance. Sellar discusses the fluctuating opinions about the value of Latin poetry over time, particularly as it has been compared to the poetry of Greece. He argues that, while Roman poetry was often viewed as imitative rather than original, it still possesses a distinct charm and emotional depth that reflects the complexities of Roman life and character. Sellar also outlines the early development of Roman literary forms and the transition from indigenous poetic traditions to the influence of Greek artistry, emphasizing the unique contributions of individual poets as well as the broader cultural implications of their works.
