Yet its irreverent tone and bold defiance of generic boundaries set the Metamorphoses apart from its contemporaries. Ovid before Exile provides a compelling new reading of the epic, examining the text in light of circumstances surrounding the final years of Augustus' reign, a time when a culture of poets and patrons was in sharp decline, discouraging and even endangering artistic freedom of expression. Patricia J. Johnson demonstrates how the production of art--specifically poetry--changed dramatically during the reign of Augustus. By Ovid's final decade in Rome, the atmosphere for artistic work had transformed, leading to a drop in poetic production of quality. Johnson shows how Ovid, in the episodes of artistic creation that anchor his Metamorphoses, responded to his audience and commented on artistic circumstances in Rome.Wisconsin studies in classics.Epic poetry, LatinHistory and criticismArt and stateRomeFreedom and artRomeEpic poetry, LatinHistory and criticism.Art and stateFreedom and art873/.01Johnson Patricia J(Patricia Jane)188994MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996248169303316Ovid before exile2315284UNISA
