Ovid: The Classical Heritage, first published in 1995, contains a diverse collection of reflections on a poet who has been adored and reviled in equal measure. Each essay indicates an theme or perspective which remains relevant to our self-understanding today. An enormous range of topics is investigated, in a variety of modes and styles: contemporary reaction, reception by Medieval Schoolmen, Ovid’s influence on Chaucer, and his importance for the ‘New Mythologists’.
