Janvier 27 avant notre ère : sur les décombres de la défunte République, Octavien/Auguste posait les fondations du Principat. À ses côtés, fidèle entre tous, Mécène, appelé à devenir l’archétype du patron littéraire. Depuis les guerres civiles, certains des poètes les plus en vue à Rome bénéficiaient de sa protection et de ses largesses. Il n’en fallut pas plus pour que le soupçon d’instrumentalisation naisse chez les Modernes. À rebours des théories classiques, l’auteur s’attache à démontrer que les poètes n’ont jamais eu à souffrir de ce compagnonnage. Non seulement le pouvoir naissant ne chercha pas à instrumentaliser leur talent afin d’asseoir le régime nouveau, mais ce sont bien plutôt les poètes qui prétendirent influencer ce dernier. Les liens entre la poésie et le politique dépassent toutefois la seule question de l’instrumentalisation. La période qui va de la fin de la République au début du Principat a été marquée par une vie littéraire florissante. Virgile, Horace, Properce, Tibulle, Ovide, d’autres encore, menèrent alors les lettres latines à leur apogée. Ils entendirent donner à la poésie latine la prééminence sur sa rivale grecque. Ils parachevaient là une dynamique apparue au tournant du milieu du Ier avant notre ère Chapeautés par leurs patroni, ils souhaitèrent associer Octavien/Auguste à ce mouvement. Loin d’avoir joué le rôle d’initiateur, le Princeps répondit à une attente pressante, sans éclipser pour autant le rôle des aristocrates dans le domaine littéraire. Au fil des pages, le livre dévoile les modalités de la vie littéraire à Rome dans un contexte politique singulier. Il met en cause l’existence des cercles littéraires tout en analysant l’intérêt des aristocrates comme Mécène, Messalla ou Pollion à protéger les poètes et les caractéristiques de ce patronage.

"Cicero's dialogue Brutus offers a history of Roman eloquence from its origins and Greek roots up to the time of the work's composition (46 BC) in the late Republic. It forms part of Cicero's response to the political and intellectual changes brought about by Caesar's dictatorship and has therefore attracted considerable scholarly attention from a number of fields. However, scholarly discourse has frequently remained isolated. This volume addresses the need to look at Cicero's treatise from an interdisciplinary angle and assembles contributions from scholars of historiography, prosopography, rhetoric, philosophy and politics. It thus puts forward a coherent and genuine interpretation of Cicero's Brutus that showcases the significance of this text for our understanding of the final years of the Roman Republic"--Provided by publisher.

"What are the interrelationships between the language of rhetoric and the code of imperial images, from Constantine to Theodosius? How are imperial images shaped by the fact that they were produced and promoted at the behest of the emperor? Nine contributors from Spain, Italy, the U.K. and the Netherlands will guide the reader about these issues by analyzing how imperial power was articulated and manipulated by means of literary strategies and iconographic programmes. The authors scrutinize representations from Constantine to Julian and from the Valentinians to Theodosius by considering material culture and texts as interconnected sources that engaged with and reacted to each other"--
