Carter explores early modern culture's reception of Ovid through the manipulation of Ovidian myth by Shakespeare, Middleton, Heywood, Marlowe and Marston. With a focus on sexual violence, homosexuality, incest and idolatry, Carter analyses how depictions of mythology represent radical ideas concerning gender and sexuality. SARAH CARTER is a Lecturer in Early Modern literature and has taught at several universities in the UK, most recently at the University of Hull and the University of Sheffield, UK. She researches the reception of Ovid and gender, and has published articles in this area as well as educational guides to Shakespeare's plays.
