But he was also a wit, the product of an age of refinement. More important, he was an artist with conscious mastery of a great range of literary artifice; his poetry has a studied movement, a grace, a rich and patterned surface, a music, that have appealed to readers and writers with an ear for ' technique' ever since. In this 1962 volume, Mr Wilkinson writes to communicate his own evident enjoyment and understanding of Ovid's fortunes. A life tells what is known of the poet, and serves as a framework to the account of the poetry. This book, an abridgement of Ovid Recalled, is designed particularly for those who have no Latin: no special knowledge is assumed, and the ample quotation is translated into heroic couplets. The result is a delightful and serviceable introduction to Ovid.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51941735366944,"sku":"NEW0521091764","price":56.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/ovid-surveyed-an-abridgement-for-the-general-reader-of-ovid-recalled-0521091764","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
