- Description
- Assesses how "mythological heroines from Ovid‘s "Heroides" and "Metamorphoses" were catalogued, conflated, reconceived, and recontextualized in vernacular literature," particularly as they reflect his "interest in textual revision and his thematization of the physicality and malleability of art in its physical environments." Includes recurrent attention to Chaucer as he helped to convey Ovidian concerns into Tudor England.
