Ovid in French
This collection of essays examines the ways Ovid’s diverse œuvre has been translated, rewritten, adapted, and responded to by a range of French and francophone women from the Renaissance to the present. It aims to reveal lesser-known voices in Ovidian reception studies, and to offer a wider historical perspective on the complex question of Ovid and gender. Ranging from Renaissance poetry to contemporary creative-criticism, it charts an understudi…
Terror and Sexual Assault
This article explores Fiona Benson’s reception of Ovid in Vertigo & Ghost, examining the way in which she probes the horror and violence of narratives that have entertained and enchanted readers of the Metamorphoses for centuries. I contextualise Benson’s treatment of Ovid by situating it within recent trends of Ovidian reception, that are alert to the dark and disturbing undercurrents of his accounts of pursuit and sexual aggression

Parmi ces auteurs, philosophes ou artistes dont la confrontation, sur le mode de la complémentarité ou du contr…

This essay is a discussion of Sarah Ruden's translation of Virgil's Aeneid against the background of the unprecedented rise in women's translations and adaptations of classical texts since the second half of the twentieth century
Sibylline SistersVirgil's Presence in Contemporary Women's Writing
The history of Virgil and his receptions is long and varied. His 20th-century career transformed his appearance as an anaemic imitator of Homer into the ‘Father of the West’, speaking above all for the marginalized and exiled. At the turn of the millennium it is women writers who, having been largely absent from the story of Virgil's reception, are for the first time shaping a new aetas Vergiliana by drawing on his poems to speak of their own pre…
Victor Hugo 2003–1802
Sous la direction de Maxime Prévost et Yan Hamel. Quebec, Fides, 2003. 185 pp. Cdn$19.95; €16.00. This book consists of a lively collection of essays drawn from a conference entitled ‘Imago Hugolis’ held in Montreal.
