"In nova fert animus mutates dicere formas corpora" ("My mind is bent to tell of forms changed into new bodies"). This famous first line of Ovid's Metamorphoses provides the central motif for Heyworth (English, U. of Mississippi) as he traces tensions between form and body in the cultural history of Medieval and Renaissance Europe. He explores those aspects of European culture that prioritize the body and the individual over form and group both in terms of social and political thought and in terms of genre and literature.
