The Art of Love (Modern Library Classics)

The Art of Love (Modern Library Classics)

In the first century a.d., Ovid, author of the groundbreaking epic poem Metamorphoses, came under severe criticism for The Art of Love, which playfully instructed women in the art of seduction and men in the skills essential for mastering the art of romantic conquest. In this remarkable translation, James Michie breathes new life into the notorious Romanâ€™s mock-didactic elegy. In lyrical, irreverent English, he reveals loveâ€™s timeless dilemmas and Ovidâ€™s enduring brilliance as both poet and cultural critic.
