Milton and the Metamorphosis of Ovid Kilgour, Maggie 1957- creator text bibliography biography Electronic books. Criticism, interpretation, etc. enk Oxford Oxford University Press 2012 monographic eng remote 1 online resource (xxiii, 373 pages) Milton and the Metamorphosis of Ovid contributes to our understanding of the Roman poet Ovid, the Renaissance writer Milton, and more broadly the transmission and transformation of classical traditions through history. It examines the ways in which Milton drew on Ovid's oeuvre, as well as the long tradition of reception that had begun with Ovid himself, and argues that Ovid's revision of the past, and especially his relation to Virgil, gave Renaissance writers a model for their own transformation of classical works. Throughout his career Milton thinks through and with Ovid, whose stories and figures inform his exploration of the limits and possibilities of creativity, change, and freedom. Examining this specific relation between two very individual and different authors, Kilgour also explores the forms and meaning of creative imitation. Intertexuality was not only central to the two writers' poetic practices but helped shape their visions of the world. Introduction: Milton and the Renaissance Ovids -- 1. Choosing Ovids (1) -- 2.
