  This is the first comprehensive account of the relationship between Shakespeare and his favourite poet, Ovid. Examining the full range of Shakespeare's works, Jonathan Bate shows how deeply creative the influence of Ovid was. His accessible study reveals Shakespeare as an extraordinarily sophisticated reader of Ovidian myth and as a metamorphic artist as fluid and nimble as his classical original.
