In the last few years, there has been a major and unmissable surge in
women's retellings and re-creations of ancient myths and texts that
has put women's re-creations of Classics centre-stage. Drawing
together an interdisciplinary range of creative and scholarly voices,
this volume asks why classical creative retellings by women are so
popular now-and considers what creativity can do to foster new ways of
thinking and writing about Classics, thus blurring the boundary
between the creative and the critical. Contributors engage with
debates on how to make Classics more accessible through the medium of
creative works, so that it is not just a discipline for the select
few. This second volume in a two-volume set brings together original
creative work by some of the many women writers who are pushing
forward changes in the landscape of re-creating Classics, from
Madeline Miller to Jennifer Saint, Emily Hauser, Caroline Lawrence,
Roz Kaveney, Nikita Gill, Fiona Benson, Anne Carson and many more.
These are set alongside discussions and interviews between writers and
academics, roundtable conversations among poets and critics, and
reflections on creative and inclusive pedagogy-thus offering a
cutting-edge collaboration between practitioners and researchers, and
underlining the centrality of women's re-creations of Classics to the
contemporary shaping of the field.
