Satire as a distinct genre was first developed by the Romans and regarded as completely 'their own'. This Companion's international contributors provide a stimulating introduction to the genre and its individual proponents aimed particularly at non-specialists. Roman satires are explored both as generic, literary phenomena and as highly symbolic and effective social activities. Satire's transformation in late antiquity and reception in more recent centuries is also covered.

Review
"...this volume proves to be a worthy companion. Each author hands the traveler on to the next author, never isolating the reader but always providing connections by which to find a way back and to make the current scenery familiar. Egressum magna me accepit Freudenburg Roma hospitio magno ..."
Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"Many contributors, not just those assigned to talk about satire's beginnings, are determined to make something of fragmentary pasts which might be more conveniently ignored...Roman satire is well accompanied by this collection." --Phoenix: Journal of the Classical Association of Canada
