Elegizing the Roman Theater:
Ars Amatoria 1.89-134

Winner of the 2017 Mary E.V McClanahan Essay Graduate Prize, Samuel L. Kindick, will present his paper, "Elegizing the Roman Theater: Ars Amatoria 1.89-134", on Monday, December 4 at 5:00 PM in HUMN 250.

Although Ovid鈥檚 Ars Armatoria (2 BCE) has often been viewed as a mere handbook, it revolutionized the form and content of Roman elegiac poetry.听 This paper explores how Ovid uses the Roman theater to bring epic and historiographic content into the world of elegy.
