Focuses on transversions of Ovids Iphis and Ianthe in both English and French literature
Medieval and early modern authors engaged with Ovids tale of Iphis and Ianthe in a number of surprising ways. From Christian translations to secular retellings on the seventeenth-century stage, Ovids story of a girls miraculous transformation into a boy sparked a diversity of responses in English and French from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries. In addition to analysing various translations and commentaries, the volume clusters essays around treatments of John Lylys Galatea (c. 1585) and Issac de Benserades Iphis et Iante (1637). As a whole, the volume addresses gender and transgender, sexuality and gallantry, anatomy and alchemy, fable and history, youth and pedagogy, language and climate change.
