Often treated as a standalone text, Cupid and Psyche has given rise to treatments in the last 400 years as diverse as plays, masques, operas, poems, paintings and novels, with a range of diverse approaches to the text.\u003cbr\u003eApuleius' story of the love between the mortal princess Psyche (or \"Soul\") and the god of Love has fascinated recipients as varied as Romantic poets, psychoanalysts, children's books authors, neo-Platonist philosophers and Disney film producers. These readers themselves produced their own responses to and versions of the story. This volume is the first broad consideration of the reception of C\u0026amp;P in Europe since 1600 and an adventurous interdisciplinary undertaking. It is the first study to focus primarily on material in English, though it also ranges widely across literary genres in Italian, French and German, encompassing poetry, drama and opera as well as prose fiction and art history, studied by an international team of established and young scholars.\u003cbr\u003eDetailed studies of single works and of whole genres make this book relevant for students of Classics, English, Art History, opera and modern film.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Regine May\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110777487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110777482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.97d","brand":"Regine May","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045579583743,"sku":"9783110777482","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9642e16d-2984-4177-a251-69ed27944a29.jpg?v=1684979550","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cupid-and-psyche-no-contributor-9783110777482","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
