Description

Examining the appropriation of transgressive, violent female figures from ancient Greek literature and myth by late Victorian writers, Olverson reveals the extent to which ancient antagonists like the murderous Medea and the sinister Circe were employed as a means to protest against and comment upon contemporary social and political institutions. Review '...this book is an important reminder of how valuable fin de siècle women found the violent Greek women and goddesses who burst onto the Attic stage, insisting upon their own point of view.' -Review of English Studies About the Author T.D.OLVERSON is a researcher in nineteenth-century literature and culture, and author of essays on women's travel writing, Victorian poetry and nineteenth-century children's literature.
