- Description
- Traces connections between Ovid and Chaucer and asserts that "Chaucer emerges not simply as a conveyor of or apprentice to Ovid, but as a 'collaborator' in an Ovidian poetic, one who necessarily and wilfully transforms Ovid's 'book' into his own." In the sections that follow an introduction of Chaucerian and Ovidian resonances, makes a case for viewing Chaucer as Ovid's "dynamic partner and active contributor to Ovidian intertextuality."
