Book: Sermonum. Epistularum. Ars Poetica Sermonum. Epistularum. Ars Poetica
Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus, 65-8 BCE) was born at Venusia, son of a freedman clerk who had him well educated at Rome and Athens. Horace supported the ill-fated killers of Caesar, lost his property, became a secretary in the Treasury, and began to write poetry. Maecenas, lover of literature, to whom Virgil and Varius introduced Horace in 39, became his friend and made him largely independent by giving him a farm. After 30 Horace knew and aided with his pen the emperor Augustus, who after Virgil's death in 19 engaged him to celebrate imperial affairs in poetry. Horace refused to become Augustus's private secretary and died a few months after Maecenas. Both lyric (in various metres) and other work (in hexameters) was spread over the period 40-10 or 9 BCE. It is Roman in spirit, Greek in technique.

In the two books of "Satires" Horace is a moderate social critic and commentator; the two books of "Epistles" are more intimate and polished, the second book being literary criticism as is also the "Ars Poetica." The "Epodes" in various (mostly iambic) metres are akin to the 'discourses' (as Horace called his satires and epistles) but also look towards the famous "Odes," in four books, in the old Greek lyric metres used with much skill. Some are national odes about public affairs; some are pleasant poems of love and wine; some are moral letters; all have a rare perfection. The Loeb Classical Library edition of the "Odes" and "Epodes" is in volume number 33.

Review by umesh prasad singh
ars poetica sermonum in horace tradition is a fullest exactitude in poetic trend and research in poetic contrite approach in poetic effulgence . in 1995 many research modules in the international universities have interpreted this module in a strategic panorama of visions and foundations in reality. calcutta university linguistic and literary department has encapsulated many literary crux on literary and administrative plane of existence. administration of language and administration of literature is wonderfully entertwined in ars poetica by horace . literary criticism rests on ars poetica and ia richards principles of literary criticism in a literary and poetic gamut. entire literary research module depends on artisic creation of art and culture in literary probe and research. deepak chopra in his lectures also has attributed to creativity in art and aestheticism as art for arts sake in which central literary attention is not disturbed at any level . ars poetica is a conglomeration of genius and philosophical calmness.
