Description
Book SynopsisA Handbook to the Reception of Ovid presents more than 30 original essays written by leading scholars revealing the rich diversity of critical engagement with Ovid s poetry that spans the Western tradition from antiquity to the present day.
Trade Review“The multi-authored Handbook to the Reception of Ovidis far more wide-ranging, and considers the whole field of Ovidian influence on literature, education, the visual arts, and film, from antiquity to the present day.” (Translation and Literature, 1 May 2015)
“While readers will also want to consult works by Doody (1985), Hopkins (2010), Oakley-Brown (2006) and Martindale (1988) — among many others, too numerous to list — this new Handbookis highly recommended as a scholarly introduction to the reception of Ovid.” (Eighteenth-century Studies and Eighteenth-century Literature, 1 October 2014)
