A sustained exploration of the wicked charm of Ovid's perennially popular Amores, focusing on the characterization of the poet-lover (cocksure yet hapless) and his desire for the erotic agitation supplied by his uncooperative mistress and his demanding verse form. Scholarly yet accessible, so will also appeal to students and teachers.
Prelude; 1. Introducing Naso; 2. The poet's heart; 3. The lover's art; 4. Loving writing.
