"This book examines the poetry of Statius (c. 40-96 AD), a Roman author uniquely placed between two major cultural centres of imperial Italy: Naples, his home city and a centre of Hellenism, and Rome, the nexus of empire. From his bicultural vantage point Statius challenges Roman norms of gender and class; his poetry reflects also shifting attitudes to Hellenism and Roman imperial ambitions. ... This book also discusses how medieval writers drew upon Statius' work for new expressive and generic possibilities in lyric, romance, and even history"--

Statius' Silvae, written late in the reign of Domitian (AD 81-96), are a new kind of poetry that confronts the challenge of imperial majesty or private wealth by new poetic strategies and forms. As poems of praise, they delight in poetic excess whether they honour the emperor or the poet's friends. Yet extravagant speech is also capacious speech. It functions as a strategy for conveying the wealth and grandeur of villas, statues and precious works of art as well as the complex emotions aroused by the material and political culture of empire. The Silvae are the product of a divided, self-fashioning voice. Statius was born in Naples of non-aristocratic parents. His position as outsider to the culture he celebrates gives him a unique perspective on it. The Silvae are poems of anxiety as well as praise, expressive of the tensions within the later period of Domitian's reign.
