About this title

Synopsis

Accessible but exciting critical handbook on one of the greatest writers of classical antiquity.

Review

'The duties of an informative companion attending readers of Ovid are admirably fulfilled in H's volume by the essays that discuss broader themes ...' Journal of Roman Studies

'... [the] Companion succeeds admirably by surveying the entire range of Ovid criticism at the level of theme, genre, narratology, key aspects of cultural studies, and reception ... The result is a collection that both beginners and old hands will find informative and stimulating, and I can recommend it with enthusiasm to readers of both kinds.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review

'The Cambridge Companion to Ovid succeeds from the point of view both of editorial design and of the quality of the individual contributions. The result is a collection that both beginners and old hands will find informative and stimulating, and I can recommend it with enthusiasm to readers of both kinds.' BMCR
