Synopsis

Witty, erotic, sceptical and subversive, Ovid has been a seminal presence in English literature from the time of Chaucer and Caxton to Ted Hughes and Seamus Heaney. Christopher Martin's superb collection brings together complete elegies from the Amores, Heroides and poems of exile, as well as many self-contained episodes from the longer works, revealing both the sheer variety of Ovid's genius and the range of his impact on the British imagination.
