Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces new students to essential concepts in Latin hexameter verse and elegiac poetry. Both serve as the foundation for understanding Western literature, but are often taught in a dry, academic fashion. This book takes a fresh approach, introducing the topic through the works of Ovid, a master of Latin poetry. The author takes a lighthearted approach to guide students through the intricacies of meter, providing ample examples that make learning the rules fun and accessible. While rooted in the classics, the book brings the subject to life with modern-day references to popular culture, so that students develop an appreciation of the timeless nature of these poetic forms. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
