The first book of its kind, Marlowe's Ovid explores and analyzes in
depth the relationship between the Elegies-Marlowe's translation of
Ovid's Amores-and Marlowe's own dramatic and poetic works.
Stapleton carefully considers Marlowe's Elegies in the context of
his seven known dramatic works and his epyllion, Hero and Leander,
and offers a different way to read Marlowe. Stapleton employs
Marlowe's rendition of the Amores as a way to read his seven
dramatic productions and his narrative poetry while engaging with
previous scholarship devoted to the accuracy of the translation and
to bibliographical issues. The author focuses on four main
principles: the intertextual relationship of the Elegies to the
rest of the author's canon; its reflection of the influence of
Erasmian humanist pedagogy, imitatio and aemulatio; its status as
the standard English Amores until the Glorious Revolution, part of
the larger phenomenon of pan-European Renaissance Ovidianism; its
participation in the genre of the sonnet sequence. He explores how
translating the Amores into the Elegies profited Marlowe as a
writer, a kind of literary archaeology that explains why he may
have commenced such an undertaking. Marlowe's Ovid adds to the body
of scholarly work in a number of subfields, including classical
influences in English literature, translation, sexuality in
literature, early modern poetry and drama, and Marlowe and his
milieu.
