- Title
Ovid and Masculinity in English Renaissance Literature.
- Authors
Riviera, Massimiliano
- Abstract
"Let Ovid now be silent", writes Dante in the XXV book of I Inferno i after having described a metamorphosis that he considers superior to those immortalised by the Latin poet. A great deal, as John S. Garrison, Goran Stanivukovic, and the impressive roster of scholars they have assembled for I Ovid and Masculinity in English Renaissance Literature i can demonstrate. But Ovid, unlike Petrarch, does not become the graveyard of failed masculinities, rather a literary model to explore and express maleness in more refined and non-belligerent ways.
