- Description
- Surveys the impact on medieval poetry of Ovid as a love poet, including comments on Chaucer's use of "Ars amatoria" in WBP, where Ovid's "erotic poetics" are "domesticated" and the reception of his poem reaches its "zenith." Central to "Chaucerian poetics," "Heroides" has "left traces throughout" Chaucer's corpus, in TC, LGW, MLT, and HF.
