Ovid And The Renascence In Spain

By Rudolph Schevill

Book Overview

Ovid And The Renascence In Spain is a book written by Rudolph Schevill that explores the influence of the Roman poet Ovid on the Spanish Renaissance. The book delves into the ways in which Spanish writers and artists of the time were inspired by Ovid's works, particularly his epic poem Metamorphoses, and how they incorporated Ovidian themes and motifs into their own creations. Schevill examines the works of prominent Spanish Renaissance figures such as Garcilaso de la Vega, Francisco de Quevedo, and Luis de G������ngora, as well as lesser-known writers and artists, to show the breadth and depth of Ovid's impact on Spanish culture. The book also provides historical context for the Spanish Renaissance and discusses the political and social factors that contributed to its development. Overall, Ovid And The Renascence In Spain is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the intersection of classical literature and Renaissance art in Spain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
