Ovid

EPW signed the preface to The Fable of Phaeton, translated from Ovid, published by Nichols with 1828 on the title-page.

IW says she read the Bible, then history, then Latin authors both classical and Renaissance: Virgil , Ovid , and Mantuan .

IW 's verse has dash and pace; her stanzas are jaunty despite the ungainly poulter's measure. In the persona of jilted woman she eschews either pathos or revenge; her tirades are not without humour. She...

Men, she says, should never be trusted without testing first; they have learned deception from Ovid . She likens them, with telling gender-reversal, to mermaids luring sailors to their doom, and again she provides a...

Critic Raphael Lyne argues that IW may have written two more poems in poulter's measure: Dido to Aeneas (a translation from Ovid ) and Aeneas to Dido (original), which appeared together in F. L.'s...

PW 's poetry is technically adept; collected, it adapts the standard language of sentimentality and protest into a dignified and individual voice. She celebrates liberty of various kinds, praises the work of a black artist...

Love's Martyr deals with the supposed unhappy love-affair between the Roman poet Ovid and Julia , the daughter of Augustus Caesar , who of course plans to marry her to someone more patrician and military...

The first number, dated 1 December 1824, opens with The Editors to the Reader, in which Watts's three personae introduce themselves as sisters. They are very literary personifications, who possess, respectively, the actual spear...

MW published The Leto Bundle, a transhistorical novel in which she uses the Ovid ian concept of metamorphosis to examine the realities of twentieth-century diaspora.

The basis of the book is Ovid 's story of Leto and the birth of her twins, an event which Warner had retold in a short story published the previous year.

Here MW enlarges on Ovid 's tale through her heroine Leto, a woman who travels through time, metamorphosing from a pre-Christian-era mother to a present-day refugee. Thus, Warner brings the Ovidian notion of metamorphosis to...

The book, edited by Philip Terry and published in London by Chatto and Windus , brought together nineteen distinguished contributors from around the world, whose approaches to Ovid vary considerably.

The editor notes that Warner's contribution follows a stratedy also used by Ovid himself in deliberately confusing the story of Leto and her babies with other stories. Through the metamorphic nature of the narrative, she...

The heroes of these tales include military and political characters but also such literary exiles as Ovid , Virgil , and Horace .
