Ovid is perhaps the most important surviving Latin poet and his
work has influenced writers throughout the world to the present
day. This volume presents a groundbreaking series of essays on his
reception across in the Middle Ages. The collection includes
contributions from distinguished Ovidians as well as leading
specialists in medieval Latin and vernacular literature, clerical
and extra-clerical culture and medieval art, and addresses
questions of manuscript and textual transmission, translation,
adaptation and imitation. It also explores the intersecting
cultural contexts of the schools (monastic and secular), courts and
literate lay households. It elaborates the scale and scope of the
enthusiasm for Ovid in medieval Europe, following readers of the
canon from the Carolingian monasteries to the early schools of the
Ile de France and on into clerical and curial milieux in Italy,
Spain, the British Isles and even the Byzantine Empire.
