Reviews / Votes
The multi-authored Handbook to the Reception of Ovidis far more wide-ranging, and considers the whole field of Ovidian influence on literature, education, the visual arts, and film, from antiquity to the present day. (Translation and Literature, 1 May 2015) While readers will also want to consult works by Doody (1985), Hopkins (2010), Oakley-Brown (2006) and Martindale (1988) among many others, too numerous to list this new Handbookis highly recommended as a scholarly introduction to the reception of Ovid.
