Inhaltsangabe

Considerable attention is paid in the introduction and commentary to recent developments in interpreting didactic poetry and the treatment of women by the Latin elegiac poets.

Críticas:

Review of the hardback: 'A detailed commentary on the third book of the Ars Amatoria has long been a desideratum. Roy K. Gibson's impressive work fills the gap and does an admirable job at elucidating a poem that for all its obvious entertainment value is not always easy to interpret. ... the commentary is a masterwork of learning ... a treasure trove ... pleasantly undogmatic. ... Well aware of the complexity of Ovid's text, Gibson judiciously refrains from simplifying it - an honest and reasonable attitude that provides a welcome corrective to the all-too-often one-sided and ideology-driven interpretations found in recent Ovidian scholarship.' Katharina Volk, Columbia University, New York
