Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ovid Travestie: A Burlesque Upon Ovid´s Epistles Captain Alexander Radcliffe´s book was originally issued in the year 1680 and met with such appreciation that a second and enlarged edition was issued in 1681, and a fourth edition in 1705. Notwithstanding this, "Ovid Travestie" has always been a scarce work, and copies of it are now practically unprocurable, except at the prohibitive price of several guineas each. That it merits a place in every collector´s library is undisputed, its singularly easy strain of wit, and ludicrous parody of Ovid´s famed Heroïdes, shewing Capt. Radcliffe to possess not only an intimate knowledge of Ovid´s manner, but a graphic power of turning to ridicule his author´s most poetic flights. Still, "Ovid Travestie" is not a volume fitted for the ordinary bookshelf. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
