Ovid RecalledUniversity Press, 1955 - 483 páginas 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. |
