In this volume, Francesca Martelli outlines some of the main
contours of recent, current and future research on Ovid. Her study
looks back to the rehabilitation of Ovid's oeuvre in the 1980s, and
considers the post-modern aesthetic prerogatives and
post-structuralist theoretical concerns that drove the critical
recuperation of his poetry throughout that decade and in the
decades that followed. But it also looks forward, by considering
how the themes of this poet's oeuvre answer to a variety of new
materialist concerns that are now gaining currency in the
humanities and social sciences. It highlights the ecopoetic
sensibility of the Metamorphoses, for example, and unpacks the
environmental narratives that this poem yields when read in
dialogue with the discourses of critical posthumanism. And it
closes by considering the hauntological aesthetics of Ovid's exile
poetry as a comment on the effects of the principate on time,
space, media, and art.
