V-2nd, ongoing profanity

[alice wellintown]

V. may be a wonder but it is neither humorless nor inert. In fact,
it's a very funny book and one of its major themes is that "Nothing in
education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates
in the form of inert facts."  (Henry Adams (1838-1918), American
historian).

Although Juvenal has enjoyed a wide readership across the centuries,
the Roman world view found in the content and tone of the Satires is
criticized today in some quarters for its incompatibility with
present-day liberal social-political ideology — that of feminism,
anti-xenophobia, and class equality.

P discusses his youthful prejudices in the SL Introduction. We might
do well to remember that Juvenal's satires are famous for their
wrathful scorn towards all representatives of social deviance.

A young horny reader would prefer Swamp Wench and what knot, the stuff
Lardass Levine drools over.

Lit-Clit was more in fashion when VL was published and that novels
suffers from the Lit-Clit influence, but V. is all boy.
