Críticas
"Notes are very helpful indeed."--L. Cahoon, Gettysburg College "Of the English translations now available, Melville's new version is the only that reproduces the grace, speed, and nervous tension of Ovid's original. It is a rare achievement."--Richard P. Martin, Princeton University "An excellent translation, elegant and accurate."--Simone Turbeville, University of Texas, Arlington "Melville has chosen blank verse, pleasantly varied by rhymed couplets to round off each sequence. His narrative is taut...his vocabulary vivid and flexible, his speeches pungent or powerful, and his command of wit a delight."--Classical Review "If Ovid wanted to read himself in English, he should certainly be happy with Melville's translation, which eloquently captures a great deal of his urbanity, wit, and sentiment in an expressive blank verse that is itself a bit of a wonder."--Thomas Clayton, Chairman, University of Minnesota "The translation is readable and tells the tales with charm, and the notes are truly excellent."--Carol R. Hershenson, Xavier University "Excellent poetic rendition, at reasonable price. Thank you. I shall order a whole library of Oxford World's Classics."--Dr. Barbara Huval, Lamar University "Reads compellingly--as Ovid should. Students enjoy [this work] greatly."--Ann Lauinger, Sarah Lawrence College "I like this translation very much. I used it this semester and will continue to use it."--Gregory M. Malion, University of New Hampshire "I shall regularly adopt this edition to use in my mythology class. It is the best paperback edition around: readable translations, episodes have titles, glossary and original line numbers on top of page."--Cliff Brockman, St. John Fisher College "Notes are very helpful indeed."--L. Cahoon, Gettysburg College "Of the English translations now available, Melville's new version is the only that reproduces the grace, speed, and nervous tension of Ovid's original.
