When Renaissance Spain rediscovered Ovid, its poets found a new language for desire, transformation, and selfhood. Ovid crossed the Pyrenees quietly. In Ovid And The Renascence In Spain, Rudolph Schevill offers a lucid spanish renaissance literature study following Rome's most subversive poet as his stories and metres are reimagined. Through precise literary criticism of ovid set against its historical moment, Schevill reveals how classical mythology in renaissance poetry becomes a vehicle for reflection, spiritual questioning, and artistic ambition. Balancing philological rigour with narrative verve, Schevill maps the classical reception in spain across genres and generations. He situates the ovid influence on spanish poets within currents of renaissance humanism in spain, tracing how imitation shades into rivalry and how myths are refashioned for local concerns. The result is a pioneering classical reception studies book and a touchstone in comparative literature renaissance studies, illuminating the networks that link Iberia to the broader story of ovid in european renaissance and spanish golden age culture. Still consulted as an essential academic reference on spanish literature, Schevill's work speaks to casual readers intrigued by myth and poetry and to classic-literature collectors drawn to the afterlife of antiquity. Indispensable for scholars of classical literature, historians of ideas, and anyone interested in how texts travel between cultures, it offers an entry point into the field. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
