During the Roman transition from Republic to Empire in the first century BCE the poet Horace found his own public success in the era of Emperor Augustus at odds with his desire for greater independence In Horace between Freedom and Slavery Stephanie McCarter offers new insights into Horaces complex presentation of freedom in the first book of his Epistles and connects it to his most enduring and celebrated moral exhortation the golden meanShe argues that although Horace commences the Epistles with an uncompromising insistence on freedom he ultimately adopts a middle course She shows how Horace explores in the poems the application of moderate freedom first to philosophy then to friendship poetry and place Rather than rejecting philosophical masters Horace draws freely on them without swearing permanent allegiance to anya model for compromise that allows him to enjoy poeticrenown and friendships with the citys elite while maintaining a private sphere of freedom This moderation and adaptability McCarter contends become the chief ethical lessons that Horace learns for himself and teaches to others She reads Horaces reconfiguration of freedom as a political response to the transformations of the new imperial age
