Product Description
1930. Illustrated by Jean de Bosschere. Ovid was a Roman writer of love elegies (Amores), then experimented with the imaginary letter, mock didactic verse (Ars Amatoria), and collective narrative relating disconnected stories inside a large historical or chronological frame. Little was heard of Ovid until the Renaissance where he was revered as the great preceptor of courtly love. Through the Renaissance up to modern times, his poetry has been respected as a treasury of mythic themes, the suggestiveness and psychological content of which have inspired the imagination of a legion of writers.
