Spenser and Ovid by Syrithe Pugh Pdf

In Spenser and Ovid, Syrithe Pugh gives the first sustained account of Ovid's presence in the Spenser canon, uncovering new evidence to reveal the thematic and formal debts many of Spenser's poems owe to Ovid, particularly when considered in the light of an informed understanding of all of Ovid's work. Pugh's reading presents a challenge to New Historicist assumptions, as she contests both the traditional insistence on Virgil as Spenser's prime classical model and the idea it has perpetuated of Spenser as Elizabeth I's imperial propagandist. In fact, Pugh locates Ovid's importance to Spenser precisely in his counter-Virgilian world view, with its high valuation of faithful love, concern for individual freedom, distrust of imperial rule, and the poet's claim to vatic authority in opposition to political power. Her study spans Spenser's career from the inaugural Shepheardes Calender to what was probably his last poem, The Mutabilitie Cantos, and embraces his work in the genres of pastoral, love poetry, and epic romance.

Spenser's Ovidian Poetics by Michael L. Stapleton Pdf

The author's predecessors focus almost exclusively on the Metamorphoses as intertext, but do not often distinguish between early modern Latin editions of the poem and translations such as Arthur Golding's. Although Spenser read Ovid in his native language, during the quarter-century of his writing career, his countrymen such as Shakespeare, Donne, and Lodge imitate and recast the ancient author. During this English aetas Ovidiana, a translation industry arises simultaneously so that the entire corpus is rendered into English, from Golding's Metamorphoses (1567) to Wye Saltonstall's Ex Ponto (1638). Since the sixteenth century did not often read or hear a Roman poet in prose renditions, the author uses Renaissance poetical verse translations (with the Latin text) to explore Spenser's variegated use of Ovid: how he sounded as early modern English poetry.

Milton and the Metamorphosis of Ovid by Maggie Kilgour Pdf

Milton and the Metamorphosis of Ovid contributes to our understanding of the Roman poet Ovid, the Renaissance writer Milton, and more broadly the transmission and transformation of classical traditions through history. It examines the ways in which Milton drew on Ovid's oeuvre, as well as the long tradition of reception that had begun with Ovid himself, and argues that Ovid's revision of the past, and especially his relation to Virgil, gave Renaissance writers a model for their own transformation of classical works. Throughout his career Milton thinks through and with Ovid, whose stories and figures inform his exploration of the limits and possibilities of creativity, change, and freedom. Examining this specific relation between two very individual and different authors, Kilgour also explores the forms and meaning of creative imitation. Intertextuality was not only central to the two writers' poetic practices but helped shape their visions of the world. While many critics seek to establish how Milton read Ovid, Kilgour debates the broader question of why does considering how Milton read Ovid matter? How do our readings of this relation change our understanding of both Milton and Ovid; and does it tell us about how traditions are changed and remade through time?

Ovid Renewed by Charles Martindale Pdf

This book is a study of Ovid and his poetry as a cultural phenomenon, conceived in the belief that such a study of tradition also casts fresh light on Ovid himself. Its main concern is with exploring the influence of Ovid on literature, especially English literature, but it also takes a wider perspective, including, for example, the visual arts. The book takes the form of a series of studies by specialists in their fields, including a number of scholars of international renown. The essays cover the period from the twelfth century, when there was an upsurge of interest in Ovid, through to the decline in his fortunes in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They are critical and comparative in approach and collectively give a detailed sense of Ovid's importance in Western culture. Topics covered include Ovid's influence on Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare and his contemporaries, Dryden, T. S. Eliot, the myths of Daedalus and Icarus and Pygmalion, and the influence of Ovid's poetry on art.

Ovid and the Liberty of Speech in Shakespeare's England by Heather James Pdf

"The poetry of Edmund Spenser is coming to be seen as feisty and, for many critics, increasingly distant from the sycophantic affair described by political philosophers such as Karl Marx, who did not like Spenser, and cultural critics such as Stephen Greenblatt, who both did and did not. Marx saw nothing in Spenser but an 'arse-kissing poet,' while Greenblatt famously argued that the poetry's lush beauty is directly linked to its most violent engagements with colonialism. Spenser has long been seen as an appreciative consumer and purveyor of pat moral precepts and, what is more, a near prisoner of a belief in encomia and flattery as the means to elevate his poems' and his own prospects in the colonial and imperial milieu of Elizabethan England. He has been known to offer bouquets of rhetorical flowers to people in high places and, as the notoriously high number of dedicatory sonnets appended to the 'back matter' of the 1590 Faerie Queene suggests, even he could be embarrassed by the bounty of prospective dedicatees. But this is only part of the story of Spenser in his fierce negotiations with political authorities over the ownership of the poetic word. Literary critics do not go to political philosophers to understand the radical potential of poetic flowers or to reflect on the lives of flowers and floral emblems in ancient myth and verse. They do not do so because, as Elizabeth Fowler has pointed out, the boundaries among the disciplines of knowledge are harder to cross today than in Renaissance England"
