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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNatalie J.
