The Protean Ass provides the most comprehensive account (in any
language) of the reception of The Golden Ass (or Metamorphoses) of
Apuleius, the only work of Latin prose fiction worthy of the name
of 'novel' to survive intact from the ancient world. Apuleius'
second-century account of the curious young man who is changed into
a donkey following an affair with a witch's slave-girl, and
undergoes a series of adventures (involving robbery, adultery,
buggery, and bestiality) before a divine vision transforms him into
a disciple of the goddess Isis, has delighted, perplexed, and
inspired readers as diverse as St Augustine, Petrarch, Boccaccio,
Sidney, Spenser, Shakespeare, and Milton. Robert H. F. Carver
traces readers' responses to the novel from the third to the
seventeenth centuries in North Africa, Italy, France, Germany, and
England
