Homer's Daughters: Women's Responses to Homer in the Twentieth Century and Beyon

Description: Homer's Daughters by Fiona Cox, Elena Theodorakopoulos Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Charting the reception of Homeric epic in the work of women writers around the globe since 1914, and covering a range of genres and literary and political movements, this volume sheds new light on an understudied facet of Homers afterlife and on how contemporary women continue to shape the field of classical reception in new and distinctive ways. Publisher Description This collection of essays examines the various ways in which the Homeric epics have been responded to, reworked, and rewritten by women writers of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Beginning in 1914 with the First World War, it charts this understudied strand of the history of Homeric reception over the subsequent century up to the present day, analysing the extraordinary responses both to the Odyssey and to the Iliad by women fromaround the world. The backgrounds of these authors and the genres they employ - memoir, poetry, childrens literature, rap, novels - testify not only to the plasticity of Homeric epic, but also to the widening socialclasses to whom Homer appeals, and it is unsurprising to see the myriad ways in which women writers across the globe have played their part in the story of Homers afterlife. From surrealism to successive waves of feminism to creative futures, Homers footprint can be seen in a multitude of different literary and political movements, and the essays in this volume bring an array of critical approaches to bear on the work of authors ranging from H.D. and Simone Weil to Christa Wolf, MargaretAtwood, and Kate Tempest. Students and scholars of not only classics, but also translation studies, comparative literature, and womens writing will find much to interest them, while the volumesconcluding reflections by Emily Wilson on her new translation of the Odyssey are an apt reminder to all of just how open a text can be, and of how great a difference can be made by a womans voice.
