Author Comments: 

Ridiculous, really. I hardly ever read and when I do, it's usually for my studies. That's the main reason why some of these are connected with the Metamorphoses, since I did a thesis on that work.

Most of these are Dutch and Flemish so most people here probably won't know them. But it features both prose as drama as well as the odd collection of poems (very few).

Name: Title (Year of publishing). Original titles only, as well as the original names for the authors (for example: Ovidius instead of Ovid).
