Marlowe's
Counterfeit Profession :
Ovid, Spenser, Counter-Nationhood
by Patrick Gerard Cheney
Univ of Toronto Pr, October 1997
"The occasion for Patrick Cheney's
rereading is
a primary discovery: Marlowe organized his canon
around an 'Ovidian' career model, or cursus, which
turns from amatory poetry to tragedy and epic. . . .
Marlowe was the first writer to the translate the Amores,
and thus the first to make the Ovidian cursus literally
his own." —The Publisher.
