The papers in this volume are based on a 2018 conference in the Department of the Classics at Harvard University in honor of Richard Tarrant, Pope Professor of the Latin Language and Literature, on the occasion of his retirement.The breadth of authors, genres, periods, and topics addressed in The Lives of Latin Texts is testament to Richard Tarrant’s wide-ranging influence on the fields of Latin literary studies and textual criticism. Contributions on stylistic, dramatic, metapoetic, and philosophical issues in Latin literature (including authors from Virgil, Horace, and Seneca to Ovid, Terence, Statius, Caesar, and Martial) sit alongside contributions on the history of textual transmission and textual editing. Other chapters treat the musical reception of Latin literature. Taken together, the volume reflects on the impact of Richard Tarrant’s scholarship by addressing the expressive scope and the long history of the Latin language.

Previous studies on the relationship between rhetorical theory and Roman poetry have generally taken the form of lists enumerating elements of style and arrangement that poets are said to have 'borrowed' from rhetorical critics. This book examines, and ultimately questions, this entrenched theoretical model and the very notion of rhetorical influence on which this paradigm is built. Tracing key moments in the poetic and the rhetorical traditions, in the context of which the problematic relationship of difference and similarity between rhetorical and poetic discourse is discussed, the book focuses on the cultural relevance of this intellectual divide in Roman literary culture. The study of rhetorical sources, such as Cicero, Seneca the Elder and Quintilian, and of select responses in Roman poetry, sheds light on long-standing scholarly assumptions about classical poetry as artless language and about the role of rhetoric in the construction of the decline of post-classical cultures.

This Festschrift celebrates the career of Christina S. Kraus. For nearly four decades, Professor Kraus has been an influential voice, contributing to and sometimes defining numerous sub-fields in the study of classical literature, from commentaries to prose style and from Greek tragedy to Roman historians. She has collaborated with scholars to produce volumes on the commentary as a genre of scholarship and the idea of the canon. She is perhaps best known for her work on Livy and Roman historiography.The resulting volume contains essays on Roman historians (Caesar, Livy, and Tacitus), prose style (Polybius, Cicero, Caesar, Livy, Seneca), intertextuality (Sallust, Virgil, Livy, Tacitus, Augustine), epistolography, reception (the Varronian disaster, Tacitism, George Bernard Shaw), and paratragedy.In addition to their thematic unity, the papers are brought together both by cross-references and by the editors’ preface, which highlights the interconnections among the individual contributions. The preface also provides summaries of the essays.
