What is Ovid recalled about?

483 pages : 23 cm If you ask anyone whether he likes Ovid, the chances are that he will reply that he did not care for what he read of him at school and has read nothing since. Further inquiry may elicit the fact that he was introduced to him by way of selections from the Heroides or Fasti or Tristia, works which have this in common, that they are not 'unsuitable' for schoolboys. And in a wider sense also there is, I venture to think, a case for offering our generation a reintroduction. For nearly two centuries Ovid has been out of fashion. -- Introduction Includes bibliographical references and index Early years; Integer et laetus -- Latin erotic elegy; His comes umbra tua est -- The elegiac couplet; Blanda elegeia -- The Amores; Tenerorum lusor amorum -- The Heroides; Dolor ira mixtus -- The Ars amatoria and Remedia amoris; Praeceptor amoris -- The Metamorphoses; Most capricious poet -- The Fasti; Tempora cum causis -- Banishment : Tristia I and II; Repertus ego -- Tristia III-V, Ibis, Epistulae ex Ponto; Among the Goths -- The Middle Ages; Sweet witty soul
