The Love Poems (Oxford World's Classics)
Description:
Ovid's love poems were brilliant and innovative. In the Amores (Loves) his witty and ironic analysis explodes the romantic mystery of elegiac love-poetry, so that after the poems appeared it was simply no longer possible to write love-elegy: Ovid had skilfully dealt the genre its death-blow. In its place he offers in the Ars Amatoria (The Art of Love) and Remedia Amoris (The Cures for Love) an alternative conception of love, as a game at which both sexes can play without getting hurt - providing they stick to the poet's rules.
This edition contains Amores, Cosmetics for Ladies, and The Cures for Love, newly translated by A. D. Melville, and B. P. Moore's 1935 translation of The Art of Love, with small revisions by A. D. Melville.
