Description: Victorian Women Writers and the Classics : The Feminine of Homer, Paperback by Hurst, Isobel, ISBN 0199541671, ISBN-13 9780199541676, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US 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 womens access to classical learning
liberated 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 womens claims to authorship, to demand access to education, to highlight feminist issues through the
heroines of ancient tragedy, to repudiate the warrior ethos of ancient epic.
