No other ancient poet has had such a hold on the imagination of
readers as Ovid. Through the centuries, artists, writers, and poets
have found in his work inspiration for new creative endeavors. This
anthology of twenty of the most influential papers published in the
last thirty years represents the broad range of critical and
scholarly approaches to Ovid's work. The entire range of his
poetry, from the Amores to the Epistles from the Black Sea, is
discussed by some of the leading scholars of Latin poetry,
employing, critical methods ranging from philology to contemporary
literary theory. In an introductory essay, Peter Knox surveys
Ovidian scholarship over this period and locates the assembled
papers within recent critical trends. Taken together, the articles
in this collection offer the interested reader, whether experienced
scholar or novice, an entree into the current critical discourse on
Ovid, who is at once one of the most accessible authors of
classical antiquity and one of the least understood.
