After Ovid: Aspects of the Reception of Ovid in Literature and Iconography (Giornale Italiano Di Filologia - Bibliotheca, 28) (English and Italian Edition)

Description

The 2000th anniversary of Ovid's death, in 2017-2018, led to an upsurge in conferences and publications dedicated to the author's work and afterlife. One of these is the present volume, resulting from the conference Dopo Ovidio. Aspetti della ricezione ovidiana fra letteratura e iconografia, which was held on 7-8 May 2019 at the Department of Human Sciences (DSU) of the University of L'Aquila, and which looked at various aspects of Ovid's fortune, from a diachronic and interdisciplinary perspective. The contributions cover a period of about fourteen centuries, from late antiquity until the end of the eighteenth century, and range from late Latin to medieval literature, from humanistic production to modern English and Italian literature, and from linguistics to the figurative arts. All these studies contribute to a collective appraisal of the multifarious impact of Ovid's works, and especially of the Metamorphoses, the latter's treatment of myth having been a starting point for integrations, developments, (re)interpretations and representations, in isolation or included in an iconographic program.
