- Title
The Adaptation of Juvenal's Snarling Satire in Martin Marprelate's Epistle.
- Authors
Dumas, Jacky
- Abstract
The article examines the use of Juvenal's snarling satire in Martin Marprelate's tract "The Epistle." Marprelate, who was called a leading Elizabethan satirist by Leland H. Carlson, was deemed to be a scholar in the satirical techniques of punitive persuasion, which is similar with Juvenal's bitterly invective "Saturae." Arthur M. Clark also deemed him to be a proven satirist with his use of all the tones of the satiric spectrum, including wit, ridicule and sarcasm. In "The Epistle," Marprelate attacked the prelacy, a social institution with strong political ties, in a manner similar to Juvenal's attacks against the Roman society in "Saturae."
