Bøger i Ovid: Amores serien

Even in its incomplete form (the final volume is still in preparation), the Commentary on the Amores of Ovid has become a scholarly standard. The introductions to each elegy are succinct, readable and original, and take careful account of relevant modern discussions. The commentary is full of meticulous detail.

The first volume of this major commentary begins appropriately with Prolegomena, before offering a text of Ovid's Amores . The Prolegomena has eight chapters: Tenerorum Lusor Amorum; Doctrina; Recitation; Chronology; The Arrangement of the Poems; The Title; Metre; The Text.

J.C. McKeown's Commentary on Ovid's Amores continues in Volume IV.i, which covers the first eight elegies of Amores Book III. Volume IV.i is jointly authored by R.J. Littlewood.
