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 from around the world. The backgrounds of these authors and the genres they employ - memoir, poetry, children's literature, rap, novels - testify not only to the plasticity of Homeric epic, but also to the widening social classes 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 Homer's afterlife. From surrealism to successive waves of feminism to creative futures, Homer's 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, Margaret Atwood, and Kate Tempest. Students and scholars of not only classics, but also translation studies, comparative literature, and women's writing will find much to interest them, while the volume's concluding 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 woman's voice. 600 00 $a Homer $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Epic poetry, Greek $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Women authors. 650 0 $a Women and literature $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women and literature $x History $y 21st century. 600 07 $a Homer. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00029137 650 7 $a Epic poetry, Greek. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913902 650 7 $a Women and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177093 650 7 $a Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177198 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Cox, Fiona, $e editor. 700 1 $a Theodorakopoulos, Elena, $e editor. 830 0 $a Classical presences. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317020358.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CA332A6A586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
