Ovid and Augustus - A Political Reading of Ovid's Erotic Poems

Zusammenfassung Deals with one of the most contentious issues in the study of Roman literature - the relationship between Augustan literary texts and Augustan politics. This work reads Ovid's early works against their political context, and argues that they challenge the Augustan regime's ideology and resist the Augustan conception of what it was to be Roman.
