{"product_id":"the-metamorphoses-of-apuleius-judith-k-krabbe-9780820409061","title":"The Metamorphoses of Apuleius","description":"One of the most notable achievements of ancient prose fiction, the \u003ci\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/i\u003e of Apuleius continues to intrigue readers. This study focuses on Apuleius' best-known work, but takes varied approaches to  metamorphosis,   exploring its use not only as a theme but as a literary technique. It breaks new ground by clearly demonstrating the close relationship between the \u003ci\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/i\u003e of Apuleius and the \u003ci\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/i\u003e of Ovid. It shows, too, the crucial significance of Isis for understanding Apuleius' mode of composition. Juxtaposing Apuleius' \u003ci\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/i\u003e with several works of modern literature, it also examines some of the transformations which the metamorphosis theme itself has undergone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith K.
