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 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 women's 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.
