Comics tell their stories by placing individual images in a sequence, and Latin elegy builds narrative through sequence, encouraging readers to connect poems in order to reveal narrativity. \u003c\/b\u003eDespite this, there has yet to be a definitive methodology that inspires readers to examine the function of this narrative tool. Examining Ovid's \u003ci\u003eAmores\u003c\/i\u003e, Swain argues a comics-based methodology can offer us important new insights into the ancient genre of Latin elegy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book applies theories such as the gutter (the space that exists between two comics panels), Groensteen's braiding (the interaction of panels outside of a linear sequence), and the comics page-turn, all to release new readings that reveal the narrative found across the three books of this text. By analysing the way that Ovid creates a complex narrative mosaic in which key characters and motifs repeat across poems, this book explores how story segments are connected into a larger unified narrative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Natalie Swain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350407244","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45156075143305,"sku":"9781350407244","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_7d9f0703-18fd-4c8f-b148-14c4d66dfe63.jpg?v=1768294479","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/narrative-in-ovids-amores-comics-theory-elegy-and-segmentary-narrative-9781350407244","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
