Vous avez dit «réformes» ? En ce commencement du vingt unième siècle, voici un mot qu'aucun lecteur ne saurait entendre sans songer immédiatement aux programmes politiques, aux prévisions économiques, ou aux annonces médiatiques de son époque. Ouvrez donc vos journaux : recommandations internationales, proclamations gouvernementales, exigences entrepreneuriales ! Toutes obéissent au même slogan. L'historien, mettant à l'écart cette impérieuse actualité, reconnaîtra aisément que le mot «réformes» est depuis longtemps d'un emploi commun, voire convenu, dans le métier. Lequel de nos arrangeurs du passé, sans plus y songer, n'y a-t-il jamais recouru ? Or, cet automatisme, si commode pour sérier des faits, regrouper ses sources, intituler un chapitre, ne serait-il pas porteur de méprise, de déformation, bref de «rationalisation» moderne ? Quant à la projection dans l'avenir que connote aujourd'hui ce mot, ne fausse-t-elle pas la perspective, lorsqu'on l'applique à la pensée des Anciens ? Que l'on songe simplement à l'étymologie latine du verbe, au sens précisément que lui donnaient les Romains : reformare ou le retour à une configuration initiale. D'un côté le créateur du Principat, le premier empereur, Octavien-Auguste est généralement désigné comme un grand «réformateur» ? De l'autre, les Modernes soulignent également l'idéal de restauration (restitutio) qui fut sa bannière. C'est par ce règne, immanquablement, que pouvait s'ouvrir une série de travaux intitulés «réformer la cité et l'Empire». Des réformes augustéennes ? Entendons qu'il sera ici question, à titre expérimental et sans visée exhaustive naturellement, de plusieurs domaines ayant fait l'objet de transformations (définition du pouvoir, institutions, administration, armée, urbanisme, expression littéraire), afin d'apprécier la part programmatique ou l'inspiration empirique du processus qui a présidé à ces changements du monde romain, au cours de ce long demi-siècle au tournant de notre ère.

This book offers an enlivening and sophisticated analysis of the pervasive use of historical myth in some of the most well known writers of the Late Republic and Augustan periods - from Cicero in the De Republica and the first book of Livy to Propertius IV and Ovid's Fasti. The chapters on prose narrative uncover an uneasy tension between the desire for accurate historical representation and the legendary character of traditional stories. In the light of modern theories of historical truth, Matthew Fox argues that narrative itself expresses a kind of belief in myths, and that this belief is in turn conditioned by historical circumstance. In this way, the accounts of Rome's regal period in both prose and verse bear witness to the uncertainties and upheavals at the end of the Republic.

This book is an examination of the ideological reception of Virgil at specific moments in the last two millennia. The author focuses on the emperor Augustus in the poetry of Virgil, detects in the poets and grammarians of antiquity alternately a collaborative oppositional reading and an attempt to suppress such reading, studies creative translation (particularly Dryden's), which reasserts the 'Augustan' Virgil, and examines naive translation which can be truer to the spirit of Virgil. Scrutiny of 'textual cleansing', philology's rewriting or excision of troubling readings, leads to readings by both supporters and opponents of fascism and National Socialism to support or subvert the latter-day Augustus. The book ends with a diachronic examination of the ways successive ages have tried to make the Aeneid conform to their upbeat expectations of this poet.
