Beschreibung

Ovid's poetry is haunted obsessively by a sense both of the living fullness of the texts and of the emptiness of these 'insubstantial pageants'. This major study touches on the whole of Ovid's output, from the Amores to the exile poetry, and is an overarching treatment of illusionism and the textual conjuring of presence in the corpus. Modern critical and theoretical approaches, accompanied by close readings of individual passages, examine the topic from the points of view of poetics and rhetoric, aesthetics, the psychology of desire, philosophy, religion and politics. There are also case studies of the reception of Ovid's poetics of illusion in Renaissance and modern literature and art. The book will interest students and scholars of Latin and later European literatures. All foreign languages are accompanied by translations.

Zusammenfassung

This is a major study of one of the most important poets of classical antiquity by a leading critic of Latin literature. It touches on the whole of Ovid’s output, from the Amores to the exile poetry, and provides a comprehensive treatment of the ways in which he creates and simultaneously deflates various kinds of illusion in his poetry. The book includes substantial discussions of Ovid’s reception in western literature and art, with sections on Petrarch, Shakespeare, and late twentieth-century historical novels about Ovid.
