Ovid: Ars Amatoria, Book III, Libro 3Cambridge University Press, 2003 - 446 páginas Book 3 of Ovid's Ars Amatoria teaches women how to catch and keep men and is here presented in the first full modern edition, based on the revised Oxford Classical Text by E. J. Kenney. In his extensive introduction and commentary Dr Gibson responds to recent developments in interpreting didactic poetry and the treatment of women by classical au thors, especially the Latin elegiac poets. He particularly explores the question of how the interests of male readers are covertly served in a book addressed to women. |
