Apuleius' tale of Cupid and Psyche has been popular since it was
first written in the second century CE as part of his Latin novel
Metamorphoses. Often treated as a standalone text, Cupid and Psyche
has given rise to treatments in the last 400 years as diverse as
plays, masques, operas, poems, paintings and novels, with a range
of diverse approaches to the text. Apuleius' story of the love
between the mortal princess Psyche (or "Soul") and the god of Love
has fascinated recipients as varied as Romantic poets,
psychoanalysts, children's books authors, neo-Platonist
philosophers and Disney film producers. These readers themselves
produced their own responses to and versions of the story. This
volume is the first broad consideration of the reception of C&P
in Europe since 1600 and an adventurous interdisciplinary
undertaking. It is the first study to focus primarily on material
in English, though it also ranges widely across literary genres in
Italian, French and German, encompassing poetry, drama and opera as
well as prose fiction and art history, studied by an international
team of established and young scholars. Detailed studies of single
works and of whole genres make this book relevant for students of
Classics, English, Art History, opera and modern film.
