Lynn Enterline - The Rhetoric of the Body from Ovid to Shakespeare
Published: 2000-05-22 | ISBN: 0521624509, 0521034655 | PDF | 288 pages | 3 MB
This persuasive book describes the complex, often violent connections between body and voice in Ovid's Metamorphoses and narrative, lyric and dramatic works by Petrarch, Marston and Shakespeare. Lynn Enterline analyzes what happens when Renaissance authors revisit Ovid's stories of violence and desire, paying close attention to the ways in which his subversive representations of gender, sexuality and the body influence later conceptions of the self and erotic life. This vividly original book makes a profound contribution to the study of Ovid's presence in Renaissance literature.
