{"product_id":"ovid-in-french-helena-taylor-9780192895387","title":"Ovid in French: Reception by Women from the Renaissance to the Present","description":"This collection of essays examines the ways Ovid's diverse \u003cem\u003eœuvre\u003c\/em\u003e has been translated, rewritten, adapted, and responded to by a range of French and Francophone women from the Renaissance to the present. It aims to reveal lesser-known voices in Ovidian reception studies, and to offer a wider historical perspective on the complex question of Ovid and gender. Ranging from Renaissance poetry to contemporary creative-criticism, it charts an understudied strand of reception studies, emphasizing how a longer view allows us to explore and challenge the notion of a female tradition of Ovidian reception. The range of genres analysed here--poetry, verse and prose translation, theatre, epistolary fiction, autofiction, autobiography, film, creative critique, and novels--also reflect the diversity of the Ovidian texts in reception from the \u003cem\u003eHeroides\u003c\/em\u003e to the \u003cem\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/em\u003e, from the \u003cem\u003eAmores\u003c\/em\u003e to the \u003cem\u003eArs Amatoria\u003c\/em\u003e, from the \u003cem\u003eTristia\u003c\/em\u003e to the \u003cem\u003eFasti\u003c\/em\u003e. The study brings an array of critical approaches to bear on well-known authors such as George Sand, Julia Kristeva, and Marguerite Yourcenar, as well as less-known figures, from contemporary writer Linda Lê to the early modern Catherine and Madeline Des Roches, exploring exile, identity, queerness, displacement, voice, expectations of modesty, the poetics of translation, and the problems posed by Ovid's erotized violence, to name just some of the volume's rich themes. The epilogue by translator and novelist Marie Cosnay points towards new eco-critical and creative directions in Ovidian scholarship and reception. Students and scholars of French Studies, Classics, Comparative Literature and Translation Studies will find much to interest them in this diverse collection of essays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helena Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0192895389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780192895387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.40w x 1.40d","brand":"Helena Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44598426140927,"sku":"9780192895387","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_db040279-1564-44b0-8f1b-0d296cd42ab3.jpg?v=1702382447","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ovid-in-french-helena-taylor-9780192895387","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
