1930. Illustrated by Jean de Bosschere. Ovid was a Roman writer of
love elegies (Amores), then experimented with the imaginary letter,
mock didactic verse (Ars Amatoria), and collective narrative
relating disconnected stories inside a large historical or
chronological frame. Little was heard of Ovid until the Renaissance
where he was revered as the great preceptor of courtly love.
Through the Renaissance up to modern times, his poetry has been
respected as a treasury of mythic themes, the suggestiveness and
psychological content of which have inspired the imagination of a
legion of writers. See other titles by this author available from
Kessinger Publishing.
