Banished by the emperor Augustus in AD 8 from Rome to the far-off
shores of Romania, the poet Ovid stands at the head of the Western
tradition of exiled authors. In his Tristia (Sad Things) and
Epistulae ex Ponto (Letters from the Black Sea), Ovid records his
unhappy experience of political, cultural, and linguistic
displacement from his homeland.
Two Thousand Years of Solitude: Exile After Ovid is an
interdisciplinary study of the impact of Ovid's banishment upon
later Western literature, exploring responses to Ovid's portrait of
his life in exile. For a huge variety of writers throughout the
world in the two millennia after his exile, Ovid has performed the
role of archetypal exile, allowing them to articulate a range of
experiences of disgrace, dislocation, and alienation; and to
explore exile from a number of perspectives, including both the
personal and the fictional.
