englischThe Age of Augustus in Rome witnessed the culmination of poetological statements within poetry. They are manifested as metaphorical representations in metatextual phenomena and presented in this book in a systematic overall view. In the verbal images presented here complementary concepts such as "ingenium" and "ars", "magnus" and "parvus", "durus" and "mollis" are examined as ideas as well as the hierarchy of genre, inspiration, priesthood, imitation and subsequent follow-ups. The treatment of genre, form and content, topic and "recusatio", together with reflections on the poetic process per se in the Age of Augustus, are grasped as similarly metaphorically interpretable as the influence of the author’s readership and biographical circumstances on the poet’s work. Poetological figurative language can thus be read as illumination of conceptual thought and technical development of language. This representation of the repertoire of images is supported by visualizations that permit further insight into the inter- and intratextual dimensions of figurative language.
