John Gower’s use of the Lycaon story from Ovid’s Metamorphoses reveals much about the 14th century poet’s way of translation, or, more broadly, translatio: the transference of thought, learning, culture, and lit- erary strategies along with the surface narrative. Lycaon’s is the first metamorphosis in Ovid’s work, and signals a great deal, both immediate- ly and largely, about Ovid’s incipient narrative. In his turn, Gower con- veys much about his own and contemporary theories of reception and writing as he melds Ovid’s story to his own use. What Gower removes, retains or changes creates a narrative of its own: the resulting text moves and stands still at the same time, actively poised between Ovid’s time and language and Gower’s.
Abstract
John Gower’s use of the Lycaon story from Ovid’s Metamorphoses reveals much about the 14th century poet’s way of translation, or, more broadly, translatio: the transference of thought, learning, culture, and lit- erary strategies along with the surface narrative. Lycaon’s is the first metamorphosis in Ovid’s work, and signals a great deal, both immediate- ly and largely, about Ovid’s incipient narrative. In his turn, Gower con- veys much about his own and contemporary theories of reception and writing as he melds Ovid’s story to his own use. What Gower removes, retains or changes creates a narrative of its own: the resulting text moves and stands still at the same time, actively poised between Ovid’s time and language and Gower’s.
