Synopsis
The Art of Love, or Ars Amatoria, is a poem about sex and poetry, and poetry as sex. Witty and subversive, it is a poem of seduction about seduction: the seduction of the implied reader being initiated into the art of love, as well as the actual reader being seduced by the poet into the act of reading the poem. This sophisticated but accessible reading of the poem focuses on the relationship between the poet and reader, the lover and the seduced--both here and elsewhere in Latin poetry. The book translates all Latin quotations, and should prove a new, exciting, and provocative contribution to Latin literary criticism.

Seduction and Repetition in Ovid's 'Ars Amatoria' II
Seller: SKULIMA Wiss. Versandbuchhandlung, Westhofen, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Sehr Gut. Zustandsbeschreibung: textsauberes Exemplar mit leichten Gebrauchsspuren, berieben mit leichter Randlädierung/clean text pages, minor traces of use, rubbed with slight marginal damage. The book offers a new and sophisticated critical assessment of the poem, based on the close analysis of certain passages, whilst at the same time being concerned with the reading of Ovidian poetry generally. Sharrock's study is overtly theoretical, influenced in particular by deconstruction and reader-response theory, with an emphasis on intertextuality. In it she discusses a range of original and important issues: the traditions of didactic poetry and of elegy; the nature of the addressee in literature; the relationship between author and reader, speaker, and addressee; poetic self-display; digression and relevance; programmatic theory and poetic value under the sign of Callimachus.
