A. T. Davies\u003cbr\u003e in 1907. While Davies' edition is incomplete (it omits certain lines) and his\u003cbr\u003e commentary is mainly concerned with philological matter, this new edition\u003cbr\u003e gives a complete text and the notes are designed to assist appreciation of\u003cbr\u003e Ovid's literary qualities. The introduction seeks to define Ovid's literary\u003cbr\u003e originality in the Metamorphoses and analyses his considerable influence upon\u003cbr\u003e English literature. The appendix provides an opportunity for comparative\u003cbr\u003e literary criticism. Book XI contains\u003cbr\u003e some of Ovid's best descriptive passages and offers the student an admirable\u003cbr\u003e introduction to the Metamorphoses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOvid:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003ePublius Ovidius Naso, 43 BC- AD 17, was a Roman poet, born at Sulmo (Sulmona) in central Italy. Born into a wealthy Roman family and seemingly destined for a career in politics, he held some minor official posts before leaving public service to write, becoming one of the most distinguished poet of his time. His works include Amores, a collection of short love poems; Heroides, verse-letters written by mythological heroines to their lovers; Ars Amatoria, a satirical handbook on love; and Metamorphoses, his epic work on change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bristol Classical Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50924873122066,"sku":"9780906515402","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_49cf9cdd-c5ed-4a8a-be0d-5c073af3e62c.jpg?v=1738973750","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/ovid-metamorphoses-xi-9780906515402","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
