The Metamorphosis of Ovid de Sarah Annes Brown

The Metamorphosis of Ovid

Autor Sarah Annes Brown
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 noi 2002
Ovid's Metamorphoses is one of the cornerstones of Western culture, the principal source for all the most famous myths of Greece and Rome, and a continuing inspiration for poets, composers and painters alike. This, inclusive account of this hugely important poem's influence on English literature, charts the reception of the poem over the course of six centuries from Chaucer's enigmatic House of Fame to Ted Hughes' Tales from Ovid. As well as offering reassessments of works whose debt to Ovid has long been recognised, such as The Tempest and Paradise Lost, Sarah Brown shows that Ovidianism is an even more complex and pervasive phenomenon in English literature than has previously been recognised, and may be found in the most unexpected places.

Recenzii

Brown tells of a body that time has changed into a new form: Ovid might have agreed with Vergil, Horace, and Catullus the Britannia lay on the edge of the world, but its writers have reclaimed the exile to Tomis as a perpetual and central presence in English literature. On the whole, Brown chronicles this long process with magisterial perspicacity.
Brown displays a masterful understanding of the Ovidian canon and the importance of Ovid's influence on some of the West's most cherished literature. In addition, [her] work makes [the] important contribution of effacing the boundary between the disciplines of Classics and English and Comparative Literature. I thoroughly recommend The Metamorphosis of Ovid.
