Clean text. ; Ovid was, despite his faults, what Macaulay called him, 'a good fellow'. But he was also a wit, the product of an age of refinement. More important, he was an artist with conscious mastery of a great range of literary artifice; his poetry has a studied movement, a grace, a rich and patterned surface, a music, that have appealed to readers and writers with an ear for ' technique' ever since. In this 1962 volume, Mr Wilkinson writes to communicate his own evident enjoyment and understanding of Ovid's fortunes. A life tells what is known of the poet, and serves as a framework to the account of the poetry. This book, an abridgement of Ovid Recalled, is designed particularly for those who have no Latin: no special knowledge is assumed, and the ample quotation is translated into heroic couplets. The result is a delightful and serviceable introduction to Ovid. ; 235 pages.

But he was also a wit, the product of an age of refinement. More important, he was an artist with conscious mastery of a great range of literary artifice; his poetry has a studied movement, a grace, a rich and patterned surface, a music, that have appealed to readers and writers with an ear for 'technique' ever since. In the Metamorphoses he transformed the common stock of mythology into a new world, made real by the detail of his verse and poignant by its music, a world which fascinated Shakespeare, Milton and Goethe and has attracted artists as diverse as Rubens, John Martin and Picasso. Painters, poets, musicians, weavers of tapestries, even makers of porcelain, have drawn on him to the point where his is one of the great (and now unrecognized) formative influences on European literature and art. Mr Wilkinson follows Ovid's fortunes; and he writes to communicate his own evident enjoyment and understanding. A life tells what is known of the poet, and serves as a framework to the account of the poetry. This book, an abridgement of Ovid Recalled, is designed particularly for those who have no Latin: no special knowledge is assumed, and the ample quotation is translated into heroic couplets. The result is a delightful and serviceable introduction to Ovid himself and to his whole work. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.
