|  | A Penelopean Poetics, Reweaving the Feminine in Homer's Odyssey
Publication Date: February 20, 2004| ISBN-10: 0739107232 | ISBN-13: 978-0739107232A Penelopean Poetics looks at the relationship between gender ideology and the self-referential poetics of the Odyssey through the figure of Penelope.

In this innovative study, Andrea Zemgulys reads ...
