Reviews for Ovidian Myth and Sexual Deviance in Early Modern English Literature
'With a wonderfully attentive critical eye to the nuances of meaning about the most provocative and secret domain of desire inspired by Ovid, this meticulously researched, engagingly written and convincingly argued book pushes the early modern criticism of sexuality in new directions...This is an accessible and interesting book.' - Goran Stanivukovic, Saint Mary's University, Canada
