Readers will find not just a list of literary encounters with Ovid, but also an incentive to investigate them more thoroughly, and to consider whether Ovid has really achieved the undying fame that he once sought. * Cora Beth Knowles, Classics for All * Ovids Presence in Contemporary Womens Writingoffers exactly what it promises: a detailed account of contemporary women writers rewritings, adaptations, and translations of Ovids works. Close readings, along with extensive citation, give life to what are often lengthy summaries, and a perceptive attention to language grounds the analyses of debts to Ovid. * Peggy McCracken, Bryn Mawr Classical Review * The strength of Cox's book lies in the sheer novelty of her research material, as well as what she does with it to draw our attention to a catalogue of writers who politicise and problematise Ovidian poetics for our contemporary literature and life. In doing so, her book powerfully reenergises Ovid, one of the most overly studied of Roman authors, while introducing a cast of innovative classicisms to his broader audiences. * Laura Jansen, University of Bristol, Synthesis * Cogent arguments, clear translations, and lucid prose, combined with Cox's perceptive choice of case studies, ensure that this interdisciplinary work will be accessible to a wide audience. As such, this book will be of interest to those working in Ovidian studies, English literary criticism, comparative literature, translation, and feminist studies. * Emma Hammond, University of Bristol, Modern Language Review * This is a rich and rewarding volume, full of fresh and perceptive readings and illuminating insights. * Sarah Annes Brown, Translation and Literature * Ovid's Presence in Contemporary Women's Writingoffers exactly what it promises: a detailed account of contemporary women writers rewritings, adaptations, and translations of Ovid's works.
