Description

Spenser and Ovid by Syrithe Pugh offers the first comprehensive examination of Ovid's influence throughout the Spenser canon. This scholarly work uncovers previously undiscovered evidence revealing the thematic and formal debts many of Spenser's poems owe to Ovid's classical works. Pugh's analysis challenges established New Historicist interpretations by contesting the traditional emphasis on Virgil as Spenser's primary classical model and questioning the narrative of Spenser as Elizabeth I's imperial propagandist. Instead, the study locates Ovid's critical importance to Spenser's poetic development and artistic vision. Essential reading for scholars of Renaissance poetry, classical reception, and the intricate relationships between early modern English literature and Greco-Roman sources.

Key Features

Spenser and Ovid presents the first sustained scholarly account of Ovid's presence and influence across Spenser's complete poetic works.

Pugh's analysis challenges New Historicist assumptions by reconsidering Virgil's traditional role as Spenser's primary classical model.

The study examines thematic and formal debts in Spenser's poems by drawing on comprehensive knowledge of Ovid's complete literary output.

This Routledge publication contests the prevailing interpretation of Spenser as purely Elizabeth I's imperial propagandist through fresh textual analysis.
