Ovid is one of the greatest poets in the Classical tradition and
Western literature. This book represents the most comprehensive
study to date of his early output as a unified literary production.
Firstly, the book proposes new ways of organising this part of
Ovid's poetic career, the chronology of which is notoriously
difficult to establish. Next, by combining textual criticism with
issues relating to manuscript transmission, the book decisively
counters arguments levelled against the authenticity of Heroides
15, which consequently allows for a revaluation of Ovid's early
output. Furthermore, by focusing on the literary device of
allusion, the book stresses the importance of Ovid's single
Heroides 1-15 in relationship with his Amores I-III, Ars amatoria
I-III and Remedia amoris. Finally, the book identifies three kinds
of Ovidian poetics that are found in his early poetry and that
point towards the works of myth and exile that followed in his
later career.
