Ovid Recalled

Cover
CUP Archive, 1955 - 483 Seiten
"This book was first published in 1955, after a lean period for Ovidian studies. In it, L. P. Wilkinson set out to restore Ovid to his rightful position. Writing for the educated reader as well as for students of the Classics, he examines Ovid's life and work, quoting extensively from Ovid's poetry both in Latin and almost invariably also in his own English verse translation, making the book easily accessible to those with no Latin."--BOOK JACKET.
