Milton and the Metamorphosis of Ovid - Kilgour, Maggie (Molson Professor of English Language and Literature, Molson Professor of English Language and Literature, McGill University)

Contributing to our understanding of Ovid, Milton, and more broadly the transmission and transformation of classical traditions, this book examines the ways in which Milton drew on Ovid's oeuvre, and argues that Ovid's revision of the past gave Renaissance writers a model for their own transformation of classical works.
