Seduction and Repetition in Ovid''s Ars Amatoria 2

Zusatztext S. has written a brave book! unconventional in manner and organization! unapologetically modern in critical approach ... there are moments of fine insight here! and every page bears evidence of impressive scholarship. This is the work of a superbly prepared young classicist alert to newer developments in criticism; we will hear more from her. Zusammenfassung The Art of Love or Ars Amatoria is a poem about sex and poetry, and poetry as sex. This sophisticated but accessible reading of the poem focuses on the relationship between the poet and reader, the lover and the seduced - both here and elsewhere in Latin poetry. The book translates all Latin quotations, and should prove a new, exciting, and provocative contribution to Latin literary criticism.
