Beschreibung
The Heroides, or Letters of Heroines, is a collection of twenty-one fictional letters composed by the famous Augustan poet Ovid (43 BC-AD 17/18). It is a widely read work of elegiac poetry which is of special interest to students of gender literature. The poems, which take the form of fifteen letters from heroines to their absent lovers and three pairs of letters to a lover with a reply, have frequently been edited and translated into English in both prose and verse. In this volume is a comprehensive collection of information for the ninth to the fifteenth poems. It comprises all the readings of all the medieval and many of the renaissance manuscripts that contain the poems. Such a collection of information is unique. It is vital for understanding the rationale of the procedures by which the text has been established.
