{"product_id":"9780521091763","title":"Ovid Surveyed : An Abridgement for the General Reader of 'Ovid Recalled'","description":"\u003cp\u003eOvid was, despite his faults, what Macaulay called him, 'a good fellow'. But he was also a wit, the product of an age of refinement. More important, he was an artist with conscious mastery of a great range of literary artifice; his poetry has a studied movement, a grace, a rich and patterned surface, a music, that have appealed to readers and writers with an ear for ' technique' ever since. In this 1962 volume, Mr Wilkinson writes to communicate his own evident enjoyment and understanding of Ovid's fortunes. A life tells what is known of the poet, and serves as a framework to the account of the poetry. This book, an abridgement of Ovid Recalled, is designed particularly for those who have no Latin: no special knowledge is assumed, and the ample quotation is translated into heroic couplets. The result is a delightful and serviceable introduction to Ovid.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48672059556075,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":89.72,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780521091763-1.jpg?v=1781625575","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780521091763","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
