To provide a new commentary on Horace, Satires I for the Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics series, to be published by Cambridge University Press. I have aimed to make my notes useful and stimulating to undergraduates, graduate students and senior scholars and to offer a fuller, more literary-based interpretation than is currently available in English (in the last published commentary, by P. M. Brown, Aris and Phillips, 1993), while also giving relevant linguistic and grammatical help. I have tried to take account of the explosion in Horatian criticism that has taken place in the last ten or fifteen years, in books and articles that introduce revolutionary perspectives on the Satires and apply new critical methods. These include: more intense exploration of Horace's dialogue with other texts and the element of generic self-definition; fuller appreciation of Satires I as a complex and allusive poetry book, like, say, Virgil's Eclogues; increasing scepticism about Horace's claims to autobiographical truth; awareness of his engagement with late Republican politics, law and gender dynamics. I have considered overall themes in the poems such as impaired vision, different styles of speaking, freedom of movement, emergence and social encounters. I have tried to explore the idea of the poetry-book as a document of late­ Republican self-fashioning, an autobiography in a looser sense, and to consider Horace's stance of disarming humility as a strategy of self-preservation in the volatile period of the First Triumvirate. I have wanted to explain the reasons for certain literary allusions, rather than simply citing them in the manner of earlier commentaries. In particular, I have tried to bring out the hidden presence of Cicero and other Republican authors in the Satires.

为即将由剑桥大学出版社出版的《剑桥希腊和拉丁经典》系列提供对贺拉斯的新评论。我的目标是使我的笔记对本科生、研究生和资深学者有用和有启发性，并提供比目前可用的英语更全面、更基于文学的解释（在最近发表的评论中，由P. M. Brown，阿里斯and菲利普斯，1993），同时也给出了相关的语言和语法帮助。我试图考虑到过去十年或十五年来贺拉斯批评的激增，这些批评出现在介绍讽刺作品革命观点并应用新批评方法的书籍和文章中。其中包括：对贺拉斯与其他文本的对话和一般自我定义的元素进行了更深入的探索;更充分地欣赏了《讽刺诗I》作为一本复杂而暗示的诗集，比如维吉尔的《牧歌》;对贺拉斯自称自传体真理的怀疑日益增加;意识到他与共和党后期政治、法律和性别动态的接触。我考虑了诗歌中的整体主题，如视力受损，不同的说话风格，行动自由，涌现和社会遭遇。我曾试图探讨这本诗集的概念，认为它是共和党后期自我塑造的文献，是一本更松散意义上的自传，并将贺拉斯解除谦卑的立场视为前三头政治动荡时期的自我保护策略。我想解释某些文学典故的原因，而不是简单地引用它们的方式，以前的评论。特别是，我试图揭示出西塞罗和其他共和党作家在讽刺作品中的隐藏存在。
