Beginning in 1914 with the First World War, it charts this understudied strand of the history of\u003cbr\u003eHomeric reception over the subsequent century up to the present day, analysing the extraordinary responses both to the \u003cem\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/em\u003e and to the \u003cem\u003eIliad\u003c\/em\u003e by women from around the world. The backgrounds of these authors and the genres they employ - memoir, poetry, children's literature, rap, novels - testify\u003cbr\u003enot 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\u003cbr\u003eto 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.\u003cbr\u003eStudents 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 \u003cem\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/em\u003e are an apt reminder to all of just how open a text\u003cbr\u003ecan be, and of how great a difference can be made by a woman's voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fiona Cox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.50w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198802587\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFiona Cox, \u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor of French and Comparative Literature, University of Exeter\u003c\/em\u003e, Elena Theodorakopoulos, \u003cem\u003eSenior Lecturer in Classics, University of Birmingham\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFiona Cox is Associate Professor of French and Comparative Literature at the University of Exeter.
