- Abstract
- Stephen Hinds has demonstrated, through analysis of the deeply intertextual relationship between Ovid’s Metamorphoses and Tristia, that Ovid’s works communicate with each other, containing references both explicit and structural that resonate between the texts, often on an extremely subtle level. In similar fashion, Carole Newland’s intratextual reading of the Fasti reveals the extent to which such resonances can exist also within a single Ovidian text. Reading within and between the Amores and the Ars amatoria requires an integration of these two approaches— intertext and intratext—because, although they are distinct works, the elegiac speaker indicates that the two texts are narrated by a single persona. If we accept that the praeceptor is an older, if not necessarily wiser, version of the amator, we can enrich our reading of both texts as an articulation of the experiences and attitudes of a single elegiac poet-lover.
