Summary

Augustan Age Culture explores the pivotal role of literature in shaping the Roman Empire under Augustus. This book examines how writers like Virgil, Horace, and Ovid were instrumental in crafting a new "golden age," promoting Augustan ideology, and solidifying a distinct Roman identity. Augustus strategically used literature as political propaganda to legitimize his rule and instill unity, demonstrating the profound connection between cultural production and imperial power.

 
The book illuminates how the Aeneid became a foundational text for Roman identity, while Horace's odes celebrated the era's peace and prosperity.

 
The book progresses systematically, first establishing the historical and social context of Augustan Rome, then delving into specific literary works and genres to analyze their role in propagating Augustan ideology. By providing detailed textual analysis and drawing on recent scholarship, Augustan Age Culture offers readers a comprehensive understanding of this complex era. This approach highlights the agency of writers in shaping their culture, presenting a nuanced view beyond simple propaganda.

    Paris Under Water - How the City...

    In the winter of 1910, the river that brought life to Paris quickly became a force of destruction.  Torrential rainfall saturated the soil, and faulty engineering created a perfect storm of conditions that soon drowned Parisian streets, homes, businesses, and museums. The city seemed to have lost its battle with the elements. Given the Parisians' history of deep-seated social, religious, and political strife, it was questionable whether they could collaborate to confront the crisis. Yet while the sewers, Métro, and electricity failed around them, Parisians of all backgrounds rallied to save the city and one another. Improvising techniques to keep Paris functioning and braving the dangers of collapsing infrastructure and looters, leaders and residents alike answered the call to action. This newfound ability to work together proved a crucial rehearsal for an even graver crisis four years later, when France was plunged into World War I. On the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the flood, Jeffrey H. Jackson captures here for the first time the drama and ultimate victory of man over nature.
