The formatting, font, and special symbols for scansion are quite easy to read. This is not that author eschews dealing with sensitive subjects like intimate partner assault (1.7) and racism (1.13).īut for the explanation of the textual tradition which is written in a technical style that clashes with the student-friendly tone of the rest of the text, the text is written lucidly. There is a great deal of commentary (maybe even a bit too much for an intermediate student), and a full glossary with the frequency of each word listed - excellent for deciding what is worth a flashcard.Īuthor avoids tacky pop cultural references, maintaining a timeless style in the commentary. Each poem has a thorough introductory essay that directs students to possible interpretations of the poem and what to look for. Provides information about the life of Ovid, scansion, the textual tradition (!). Reviewed by E.Del Chrol, Professor, Marshall University on 2/17/20Įxcellent treatment of the first book of Ovid's Amores.
