Conclusion
The conclusion re-articulates the book’s model of the solitary sphere in the age of Virgil within the context of imperial politics, showing how this sphere helped shape new coordinations of cosmos, imperium, and the individual. It shows the role played in this process by newly popular genres like pantomime and the newly (or newly fashioned) subjective element of literary characterization, and demonstrates how this sphere’s new forms are embodied …
Cicero Speaking with Solitudes
This chapter argues that the question of how one can “speak with oneself” ( secum loqui ) was central to Cicero’s personal, philosophical, and political projects throughout much of his career, and especially in his late works. Set against the background of scholarship on Cicero’s life and work, Petrarch’s interest in Cicero, and the wide arc of Cicero’s philosophical works, it studies Cicero’s dilations on the paradox of solitude—including Scipio…
Horace and the Slip to Solitude
This chapter argues that Horace made the solitary sphere into a way of life. Against models of Horace’s persona and work that emphasize the contrast between public bard and coterie poet, it shows how the slip to solitude represented a pervasive gesture across his corpus. Proceeding chronologically, close reading of satires, Odes , and the relationship between the tale of the ostensibly mad man at Argos in the Epistle to Florus and the conclusion …
Virgil’s Eclogues as Meditation
This chapter argues that Virgil’s Eclogues give literary form to Rome’s solitary sphere and make solitude their central social and literary problem. A meditation on Virgil’s use of the verb meditari (“to meditate, contemplate, practice”) and on the fourth Eclogue provides background for a formulation of Virgil’s model of “loveful reading” that, in its solitude, nuances readings of the Eclogues as representing dreams of social reciprocity and comm…
The Solitary Sphere in the Age of Virgil
The Solitary Sphere in the Age of Virgil uses an enriched tripartite model of Roman culture—touching not only the public and the private, but also the solitary—in order to present a new interpretation of Latin literature and of the historical causes of this third sphere’s relative invisibility in scholarship. By connecting Cosmos and Imperium to the Individual, the solitary sphere was not so much a way of avoiding politics as a political educatio…
