Opis

Mihoko Suzuki sheds light on a literary tradition that seemingly holds Helen of Troy and her descendants responsible for causing epic conflicts, while it appropriates the woman's perspective as a source of insight and poetic power."A superb study of the uses and abuses of female characters in the epic tradition and their complex, sympathetic treatment by male poets."
