This is the version Shakespeare read and borrowed from, the version that scholars of English literature in the 17th century read to unveil the beauty and power of the Roman poet`s words. A foundation stone in the study of English literature and the English translations of classical Latin works, Ovid`s Metamorphosis: The Arthur Golding Translation, 1567 comes once again into publication, an invaluable resource for students, professors, scholars and teachers. The rigorousness of this old English version amply and artfully reflects the fascination with human passion and natural phenomena that characterizes not only Ovid`s writing but the Bard`s as well. | Ovid's Metamorphoses by John Nims, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
