Shakespeare and Ovid

Description:

"Jonathan Bate examines the full range of Shakespeare's work, identifying Ovid's presence not only in the narrative poems and pastoral comedies, but also in the Sonnets and mature tragedies. He shows how profoundly creative Ovid's influence was, from the raped Lavinia's turning of the pages of the Metamorphoses in Titus Andronicus, and the staging of Pyramus and Thisbe in A midsummer night's dream, to the reanimation of Hermione's statue in The winter's tale and Prospero's renunciation of his magic in The tempest"--Cover, p. [4].
