Book Description
This book is a study of Ovid and his poetry as a cultural phenomenon, conceived in the belief that such a study of tradition also casts fresh light on Ovid himself. Its main concern is with exploring the influence of Ovid on literature, especially English literature, but it also takes a wider perspective, including, for example, the visual arts. The book takes the form of a series of studies by specialists in their fields, including a number of scholars of international renown. The essays cover the period from the twelfth century, when there was an upsurge of interest in Ovid, through to the decline in his fortunes in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They are critical and comparative in approach and collectively give a detailed sense of Ovid's importance in Western culture. Topics covered include Ovid's influence on Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare and his contemporaries, Dryden, T. S. Eliot, the myths of Daedalus and Icarus and Pygmalion, and the influence of Ovid's poetry on art.

Book Description
In the Middle and Early Modern Ages, translations of Ovid's Metamorphoses in the vernacular played a pivotal role in its transmission to Europe's emerging cultures. These vernacular translations, along with the glosses, commentaries, and illustrations that frequently accompanied them, are the subject of this volume. Ovid in the Vernacular covers eight linguistic areas (English, Spanish, Catalan, French, German, Italian, Dutch, and Greek) and offers new insights into how each of these appropriated and transformed the Latin poem through words and images. At the same time, it looks beyond national and linguistic borders, retracing the circulation of textual and non-textual elements of the vernacular Ovid across Europe, and connecting different literary traditions. This volume overcomes the perceived division between the Middle and Early Modern Ages as it charts both continuities and discontinuities between the two, addressing the influence of manuscript culture and print culture on the re-fashioning of Ovid. It thereby exposes the full range and power of the transformations to which Ovid's Metamorphoses lent itself, and how these allowed the work to become a constitutive part of the literary and artistic life of Western Europe.

Book Description
In the Middle and Early Modern Ages, translations of Ovid's Metamorphoses in the vernacular played a pivotal role in the process of the transmission of this poem to the emerging European cultures. These vernacular translations, together with the glosses, commentaries, and illustrations that frequently accompanied them, are the object of study of this collective volume. Ovid in the Vernacular covers eight linguistic areas (English, Spanish, Catalan, French, German, Italian, Dutch, and Greek) and offers new insights about the way in which each of these emerging vernacular cultures appropriated and transformed this Latin poem through words and images. At the same time, this book looks beyond national and linguistic borders and retraces the circulation of textual and non-textual elements of the vernacular Ovid across Europe, connecting different literary traditions. This volume overcomes the perceived division between Middle and Early Modern Ages, and charts continuities and discontinuities between these two historical periods, addressing the influence of manuscript culture and print culture on the re-fashioning of Ovid. The scope of this publication is to bear witness to the transformative ability of Ovid's Metamorphoses and unveil how the transformations to which this poem lent itself allowed this work to become a constitutive part of the literary and artistic life of Western Europe. Gemma Pellissa Prades is a postdoctoral researcher in the Departament de Filologia Catalana i Lingüística General at the Universitat de Barcelona. Marta Balzi has recently completed her PhD at the University of Bristol.

Book Description
Ovid's Metamorphoses played an irrefutably important role in the integration of pagan mythology in Christian texts during the Middle Ages. This book is the only study to consider this Ovidian revival as part of a cultural shift disintegrating the boundaries between not only sacred and profane literacy but also between academic and secular politics.

Book Description
Ovid: The Classical Heritage, first published in 1995, contains a diverse collection of reflections, ranging from the first century, through the Middle Ages, to the twentieth, on a poet who has been adored and reviled in equal measure. With the entire notion of ‘Western culture’ under duress, the need to establish continuity from antiquity to modernity is as pressing as ever. Each essay, selected by Professor Anderson, indicates an Ovidian theme or perspective which remains relevant to our self-understanding today. An enormous range of topics is investigated, in a variety of modes and styles: contemporary reaction, reception by Medieval Schoolmen, Ovid’s influence on Chaucer, and his importance for the ‘New Mythologists’. Overall, Ovid: The Classical Heritage offers a rich selection of essays, which cumulatively demonstrate the continuing importance and fascination of this great Roman poet.

Book Description
These essays examine the central role played by Ovid in medieval amatory literature. In so doing, they address the theoretical problems of the entrenched "aesthetics of reception" long tied to the Ovidian Middle Ages, while they also seek at times to overturn many of the prior critical perceptions associated with Ovidian suasive discourse - in particular the unproblematized assertion of male will and the erasure of female voice. Responding to the great fund of critical work done on amatory literature in the Middle Ages - a literature thus far organized into an array of categories such as the rhetorical institution of persuasion and seduction, the Ovidian heritage, aetas ovidiana, the language of amatory trial, the genealogy of the romance, and the convention of courtly love - this volume seeks to provide a comprehensive look at the rhetorical and social conditions of desire.

Book Description
Scholars have recently recognized the importance of the medieval and renaissance school tradition on classical authors for our understanding of literary theory and reading practices from the late antique period to 1600. Yet much of the primary evidence, necessary to such an investigation lies hidden in the manuscript repositories of Europe and North America. The Incipitarium Ovidianum will serve as a finding guide for scholars interested in the medieval and renaissance tradition of accessus, biographies, commentaries and Summae memoriales on the poetic corpus of Ovid. The Incipitarium lists alphabetically by their opening words all of the extant texts related to the study of Ovid from 400 to 1600. All known manuscript witnesses to the text as well as the early incunabula, modern printed editions and studies are provided. An appendix lists manuscripts which transmit glosses to the individual works. And a comprehensive bibliography of modern studies related to the study of Ovid in the Middle Ages is included in the introduction to the Incipitarium itself. The Incipitarium surveys 483 texts in manuscript and/or printed form and will be an essential research tool for all scholars working in the field of the classical tradition.
