The Cambridge Companion to Roman Satire

'Satire, perhaps more than any other genre, needs these companions, as it is a long, winding, branching road that sometimes blurs into obscurity. ... the writings pull no punches, are often in the vernacular, and are direct in speech like satire itself. ... this volume proves to be a worthy companion. Each author hands the traveller 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.'
