  • Ovid's Metamorphoses and the Environmental Imagination

    Redigeret af Giulia Sissa, Francesca Martelli ...
    Serier serie Ancient Environments
    This book positions Ovid's Metamorphoses as a foundational text in the western history of environmental thought. The poem is about new bodies.

In bending the boundaries of known categories of being, these ... Læs mere

  • Elemental Ecocriticism

    Thinking with Earth, Air, Water, and Fire

    For centuries it was believed that all matter was composed of four elements: earth, air, water, and fire in promiscuous combination, bound by love and pulled apart by strife. Elemental theory offered a mode of understanding materiality that did not center the cosmos around the human. Outgrown as a science, the elements are now what we build our houses against. Their renunciation has fostered only ... Læs mere

This book outlines the history of the emblem tradition as a juridical genre, along with the concept of, and training in, obiter depicta, in things seen ... Læs mere

  • Tragedy in Ovid

    Theater, Metatheater, and the Transformation of a Genre

This play kindled in him a lifelong interest in the genre of tragedy, which informed his later poetry and enabled him to continue his career as a tragedian – if only on the page instead of the stage. This book surveys tragic characters ... Læs mere
