{"product_id":"victorian-women-writers-and-the-classics-the-feminine-of-homer-9780199541676","title":"Victorian Women Writers and the Classics: The Feminine of Homer","description":"Isobel Hurst examines the role of women writers in the Victorian reception of ancient Greece and Rome, showing that they had a greater imaginative engagement with classical literature than has previously been acknowledged. The restrictions which applied to women's access to classical learning\u003cbr\u003eliberated them from the repressive and sometimes alienating effects of a traditional classical education. Women writers' reworkings of classical texts serve a variety of purposes: to validate women's claims to authorship, to demand access to education, to highlight feminist issues through the\u003cbr\u003eheroines of ancient tragedy, to repudiate the warrior ethos of ancient epic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isobel Hurst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.59d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199541676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIsobel Hurst is a Lecturer in English and Classics at the Universities of Oxford and Warwick. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39934217945203,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_1242d52d-13d1-4291-9a0d-29a1d92d079a.jpg?v=1647878039","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/victorian-women-writers-and-the-classics-the-feminine-of-homer-9780199541676","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
