Writing Down Rome explores the robust poetic of self-denigration. Henderson's essays celebrate the energetic self-mockery that powers much of Roman poetry. They range widely over comedy, lyric, bucolic, and, in particular, the Roman speciality of satire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51667139526944,"sku":"NEW0198150776","price":98.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71Ncop78zQL.jpg?v=1778960075","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/writing-down-rome-satire-comedy-and-other-offences-in-latin-poetry-0198150776","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
