The Love Books of Ovid

Focusing on love's complexities, this collection features four significant works by the Roman poet Ovid, renowned for shifting the narrative from the poet to the theme of love itself. His innovative approach and exploration of love's impact on individuals were considered controversial, contributing to his banishment by Emperor Augustus. This edition, translated into English prose by J. Lewis May, showcases Ovid's mastery of elegy and romantic poetry, appealing to both classical literature students and poetry enthusiasts.
