MACK, S., — Ovid.

Yale University Press, New Haven / London, 1988. IX,180p. Wireless. Card board. Cover bit used. Binding cracked between pp.86-87. Edges bit stained. Bit crooked. ‘Hermes Books are intended to be written in ‘clear, lively and graceful English without polysyllabic language or parochial jargon.’ Mack has done just that. She writes for novice and specialist in this well organised, coherent survey of a timeless literature whose primary themes is all kinds of love. Mack introduces the poet first as he is viewed today and then as he was known in his own time, and follows with a general, and then a detailed, survey of each of the works (…). Marck urges her readers to keep a text, preferably a bi-lingual Loeb, on hand, so they can read for themselves each of the works described. How fortunate for both students and Ovid scholars that Hermes Books encouraged this volume.’ (NORMA GOLDMAN in The Classical World, 1989, pp.130-131).
