Selected and Translated By Horace Gregory. 126 pages. paperback. MP578. keywords: Mentor Paperback Poetry Literature Roman Latin. DESCRIPTION - Sensuous and sophisticated, this is the poetry which so shocked a Roman emperor that he banished its creator. Here are selections from Ovid's famous Amores (his ELEGIES ON LOVE), THE ART OF LOVE, and THE CURES FOR LOVE - in a new version by an eminent poet and translator. Horace Gregory's rendition recaptures the rest- less passion as well as the lyrical wit of these love poems, which remain unsurpassed after some twenty centuries. 'I know of no one else who could have managed to suggest the extravagance of wit and the delicacy of form that characterized Ovid.' - Dudley Fitts. inventory #40966 Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers.

Hardcover with dust jacket. Condition: Gut. XV, 272 p. Lediglich der Schutzumschlag am Buchrücken lichtbedingt leicht ausgeblichen, sonst ein sehr gutes Exemplar ohne Anstreichungen / only the dust jacket slightly faded at the spine, otherwise a very good copy without markings. - Since it first appeared in 1961, this has been the standard critical edition of Ovid's love poems. For this new edition, the text has been thoroughly revised to take account of published scholarship and the further thoughts of the editor. Conjectures have been admitted to both text and apparatus criticus more freely than in the first edition. Punctuation has been improved, spelling has been normalized, and the long poems have been paragraphed. The apparatus criticus now incorporates the readings of the important Berlin manuscript Hamilton 471 and such other readings formerly reported in the Appendix of minor variants (now omitted) as are of critical significance; it has also been streamlined by the omission of explanatory material more conveniently accessible in commentaries.
