From Christian translations to secular retellings on the seventeenth-century stage, Ovid's story of a girl's miraculous transformation into a boy sparked a diversity of responses in English and French from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries. In addition to analysing various translations and commentaries, the volume clusters essays around treatments of John Lyly's Galatea (c. 1585) and Issac de Benserade's Iphis et Iante (1637). As a whole, the volume addresses gender and transgender, sexuality and gallantry, anatomy and alchemy, fable and history, youth and pedagogy, language and climate change. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe only scholarly monograph to focus on Ovid's 'Iphis and Ianthe'\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntervenes in the history of Ovidian reception and literary history, particularly in terms of gender and sexuality\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBroadens readings of 'Iphis and Ianthe' beyond concerns of gender and sexuality\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBrings medieval and early modern, English and French appropriations of the tale into productive dialogue\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides new readings of John Lyly's \u003ci\u003eGalathea\u003c\/i\u003e and Issac Benserade's 'Iphis and Ianthe', and of medieval versions of the story\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntervenes in the history of 'trans' phenomena\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valerie Traub\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474448917\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474448918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.72d","brand":"Valerie Traub","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43942903382271,"sku":"9781474448918","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_53ced308-5a56-40d5-bcb2-2ba5b526efdc.jpg?v=1681495035","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ovidian-transversions-valerie-traub-9781474448918","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
