This introduction to Ovid's 'Metamorphoses' considers how Ovid defined and shaped his narrative, its cultural context, and its vivid depictions of the cruelty of jealous gods, the pathos of human love, and the imaginative fantasy of flight, monsters, magic and illusion.

Ces Entretiens sont attachés à un lieu, qui leur donne son nom : La Garenne Lemot, une villa néo-classique, aux bords escarpés de la Sèvre, dans l’évocation de la Toscane. En cet endroit l’on peut parler de beauté et de grâce, mais aussi, comme nous l’avons fait, de tolérance et d’amitié. Ces Entretiens sont annuels. Le lieu est essentiel. Il communique un charme et une grâce qui ouvrent à la beauté. Il engage à l’absence de raideur que nous avons rêvée, chacun à travers nos disciplines et nos imaginaires. C’est d’ailleurs ainsi que nous entendons ces Entretiens. Des sujets vagues, dirait-on, des lieux communs, mais affrontés avec rigueur. Il y a longtemps que nous nous exerçons à ce que j’appelle l’élucidation critique des lieux communs de l’imaginaire. Nous sommes très loin de tout dogmatisme. Nous sommes invités, comme les historiens de l’imaginaire que nous voulons être, à prendre les chemins de nos disciplines, à les regarder se rencontrer, il est difficile d’organiser une présentation. Chercher une conclusion est impossible. Le lecteur est invité à la table de La Garenne. Cette année-là il s’agissait de métamorphoses. Je pense qu’il y aura matière à rêver.

This volume brings together essays that, individually and collectively, address the force of the literary text with regard to problematic identities. They work out of shared concerns with literary representations of this issue in different regions, nations and communities that often prove divided; they pursue questions related to textual identity, where the literary text itself is contested internally, or in its generic and historical relations. In sum, these studies actively test identity, as social or literary concept, discovering in difference the very condition of a useful, if paradoxical,

"Reception studies have transformed the classics. Many more literary and cultural texts are now regarded as 'valid' for classical study. And within this process of widening, children's literature has in its turn emerged as being increasingly important. Books written for children now comprise one of the largest and most prominent bodies of texts to engage with the classical world, with an audience that constantly changes as it grows up. This innovative volume wrestles with that very characteristic of change which is so fundamental to children's literature, showing how significant the classics, as well as classically-inspired fiction and verse, have been in tackling the adolescent challenges posed by metamorphosis. Chapters address such themes as the use made by C S Lewis, in The Horse and his Boy, of Apuleius' The Golden Ass; how Ovidian myth frames the Narnia stories; classical 'nonsense' in Edward Lear; Pan as a powerful symbol of change in children's literature, for instance in The Wind in the Willows; the transformative power of the Orpheus myth; and how works for children have handled the teaching of the classics."--
