Acknowledgements -- Introduction: Contested Ground: Gender and Victorian Hellenism(s) -- Taking on the Tradition: Augusta Webster's Feminist Revisionism -- Amy Levy's Greek Anti-Heroines -- Worlds Without Women: Emily Pfeiffer's Political Hellenism -- Old Greek Wine in New Bottles: Michael Field's Dionysiac Poetics -- Medea's Haunting of the Fin de Siáecle.
Women Writers and the Dark Side of Late Victorian Hellenism innovatively examines the appropriation of transgressive, violent female figures from ancient Greek literature and myth by writers such as Augusta Webster, Amy Levy, Emily Pfeiffer, Michael Field, Mona Caird and Vernon Lee. Olverson reveals the extent to which ancient antagonists like the murderous Medea and the sinister sorceress Circe were employed as a meansto protest against, and comment upon, contemporary social and political institutions. Reinvigorating, revising and reimagining such potent ancient paradigms enabled Victorian women writers to challenge male-dominated systems of social organization, scholarship, translation and the transmission of knowledge. The Dark Side of Hellenism not only reveals just how deeply embedded the ancient Greek world was in Victorian literature and culture, but also how women imaginatively engaged with and thereby changed the intellectual culture of the late-nineteenth century. Thisstudy will appeal to scholars, students and those interested in Victorian studies, women's literature and the reception of classics in thenineteenth century.
