Apuleius (
c. ad 123–after 170), North African poet, philosopher, and rhetorician. His best-known work is his
Metamorphoses or
The Golden Ass. Manuscripts of this proliferated from the 14th cent., and it became a quarry for the novella, for which its intercalated stories served as a model.
Boccaccio borrowed three and others appeared in the 15th-cent.
Cent Nouvelles nouvelles. The work is regarded as a forerunner of that
picaresque tradition which eventually produced
Tom Jones. Special mention must be made of one story,
Cupid and Psyche.
