The Roman Poets of the Augustan Age: Virgil

"The Roman Poets of the Augustan Age: Virgil" by W. Y. Sellar is a study of a brilliant period in Roman writing, when poets faced big changes as Rome shifted from a Republic to an Empire. The book looks at how Virgil and other famous writers like Horace and Ovid were affected by the culture, politics, and society around them. It shows how events like the battle of Actium led to a need for peace and a new way to express feelings in their poems. The story explains how these poets used their writing to reflect and even influence what people thought and felt, creating new styles compared to the poets who came before them.
