Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Adverbs in Horace and Juvenal: A Dissertation Presented to the Johns Hopkins University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
As regards the vocabulary, it will be found that Horace is much broader than the later satirist, using many adverbs not occurring in Juvenal, whereas the latter employs comparatively few not found in Horace. This is due mainly to two reasons. First, Horace is much freer in the use of rare words, and not infrequently coins new adverbs to suit his purpose. Again, the prose1 and vulgar element, more especially in the Satires,2 in Horace allows words not to be found in poetical or urbane diction. As regards also the number of times the Single words occur, Horace's use is larger than that of Juvenal in almost every class of adverbs. Certain adverbs of place are a noteworthy exception - due to the free use of these words by Juvenal to express time and other relations. This usage is commonly in keeping with the general post-augustan development.
