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. 410 0$aWisconsin studies in classics. 606 $aEpic poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism 606 $aArt and state$zRome 606 $aFreedom and art$zRome 615 0$aEpic poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aArt and state 615 0$aFreedom and art 676 $a873/.01 700 $aJohnson$b Patricia J$g(Patricia Jane)$0188994 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248169303316 996 $aOvid before exile$92315284 997 $aUNISA
