New York: Cambridge University Press, 2005. – 187 p. Ovid's Heroides, a catalogue of letters by women who have been deserted, has too frequently been examined as merely a lament.

University of Wisconsin Press, 2008. - 200 p. - (Wisconsin Studies in Classics).
The epic Metamorphoses, Ovid’s most renowned work, has regained its stature among the masterpieces of great poets such as Vergil, Horace, and Tibullus.

Oxford University Press, 2020. — 144 p. "Vivam" is the very last word of Ovid's masterpiece, the Metamorphoses : "I shall live". If we're still reading it two millennia after Ovid's death, this is by definition a remarkably accurate prophecy.

These three...
De Gruyter, 2018. — 540 p. — (Sammlung wissenschaftlicher Commentare). The text of Ovid's Metamorphoses is not as indisputably established as one might think.

Cambridge University Press, 2013. — 260 p. The influence on Ovid of Hesiod, the most important archaic Greek poet after Homer, has been underestimated.
