Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Apuleius' tale of Cupid and Psyche has been popular since it was first written in the second century AD as part of his Latin novel Metamorphoses. This story of the love between the mortal princess Psyche (or "Soul") and the god of Love has given rise to treatments as diverse as plays, masques, operas, poems, paintings and novels. The essays in this volume focus on this reception, primarily in English material, though it also includes Italian, French and German receptions.
