Yale University Press, New Haven / London, 1988. IX,180p. Wireless. Card board. Cover bit used. Binding cracked between pp.86-87. Edges bit stained. Bit crooked. ?Hermes Books are intended to be written in ?clear, lively and graceful English without polysyllabic language or parochial jargon.? Mack has done just that. She writes for novice and specialist in this well organised, coherent survey of a timeless literature whose primary themes is all kinds of love. Mack introduces the poet first as he is viewed today and then as he was known in his own time, and follows with a general, and then a detailed, survey of each of the works (?). Marck urges her readers to keep a text, preferably a bi-lingual Loeb, on hand, so they can read for themselves each of the works described. How fortunate for both students and Ovid scholars that Hermes Books encouraged this volume.? (NORMA GOLDMAN in The Classical World, 1989, pp.130-131). Artikel-Nr. 63830

Originalbroschur. Zustand: Sehr gut. XII, 180 S. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Ovid's interest in narrative technique is so much like ours that modern critical terms such as "reader-response" could have been coined for his experiments with story telling. In the creation of different personae and points of view his ingenuity is endless. For the Amores he invented a posing poet-lover; for the Art of Love, his narrator is a cynical professor of seduction who is convinced, quite wrongly, that he has love down to a science. In the Heroldes, a series of verse-letters from the famous women of legend to their lovers, he brilliantly recreated great moments of heroic mythology from the feminine point of view. The longest and most enchanting of his works, the Metamorphoses, an epic-length poem on the infinite changes of mythology and history, afforded him the richest opportunities of all to experiment with narrative techniques. In this book Sara Mack introduces Ovid to the general reader. After considering Ovid's modernity, Mack surveys his poetry chronologically. Next she examines his most influential poems: the Amores, Heroides, Art of Love, and Metamorphoses. Finally she explores Ovidian wit, concluding with a look at Ovid's influence on the arts.
