The Metamorphosis of Ovid: From Chaucer to Ted Hughes

"[Brown]offers an approachable guide, with many examples, to anyone hoping to distill and identify Ovidian style...Brown displays a masterful understanding of the Ovidian canon and the importance of Ovid's influence on some of the West's most cherished literature. In addition, Brown's work makes the important contribution of effacing that boundary between the disciplines of Classics and English and Comparative Literature, so that we can hope for more works in the future that trace the influences and communications between the works of antiquity and those of modern times. I highly recommend The Metamorphosis of Ovid."Sarah Annes Brown is the author of 'The Metamorphosis of Ovid: From Chaucer to Ted Hughes', published 2000 under ISBN 9780312228446 and ISBN 0312228449.
