BINNS, J.W. (ed.), Ovid. Routledge & Kegan Paul, London / Boston, 1973. VIII,250p. Original green cloth with dust wrps. Spine gilt titled. Cover, inside dust wpprs as well as endpapers a bit moist stained. 'This is a welcome addition to the Birmingham series. The most substantial contribution is that of E.J. Kenney on 'The Style of the Metamorphoses'. His 135 notes are a gold-mine of critical bibliography. (...) I.M. Le M. Du Quesnay is good on the 'Amores'. Comparison with Propertius is the best approach, but to speak of 'parody' may be misleading. (...) A.S. Hollis, (...) presents the 'Ars' and 'Remedia' in the right light. (...) He demonstrates how the three main elements, the didactic tradition, material from straight love elegy, and colouring from Roman life, are blended in Ars i, 399-418. (...) R.J. Dickinson writes appreciatively of the 'Tristia'. These were unusual in Roman Elegy as being directly referable to the author's experience (...). Much of this chapter is devoted to a fashinable schematization of the arrangement of the poems within the Books (...). The last two chapters are devoted to 'Nachleben'. (L.P. WILKINSON in The Classical Review (New Series), 1975, pp.216-217). € 15.00 (Antiquarian) ISBN: 9780710076397
