Opis

Ovid, wittiest of ancient poets, has been an influential model for writers and artists throughout the ages. Llewelyn Morgan introduces the poet and his works, describing each of his poems in turn, setting them in their social and literary context, and considering the twist of events that led to the exile of Rome's most celebrated artist.

Recenzje

It is hard to imagine a VSI volume on Ovid that could be better executed in terms of the balance it achieves between its breadth of vision, on the one hand, and its eye for particularity, on the other. Gareth Williams, Columbia University , Romantic Review
