Opis i karakteristike
With new stories and an extended introduction, this collection focuses on the enchanting Circe of Greek mythology, featuring new perspectives on longstanding stereotypes.
Enchantress, goddess, witch, predatory seductress… Inevitably, Circe has been bestknown in these terms, through the male gaze of Homer, Hesiod et al., as interpreted by readers and storytellers until today. Rarely does the classic literature give us a rounded view of a woman subject to the same flaws and emotions as anyone: jealousy, desire, unrequited love; her witchcraft is perhaps not so much dreadful as aweinspiring and led by nature. What we know of her story is piecemeal, from many sources. This enriching collection brings together new stories and ancient origins, offering a wider perspective on the whole life of the enigmatic, enchanting Circe.
Introductory essay by Imogen Dalton, and foreword by Dr Ellie Mackin Roberts. The modern authors whose stories feature in this book are: L.D. Burke, Z.D. Campbell, C.B. Channell, Mason Graham, Kay Hanifen, M.J. Harris, Elena Kotsile, Claire L. Marsh, Erin Murphy, Lourdes Ureña Pérez, Elizabeth Roberts, Zach Shephard, Jamie Simpher, Theresa Tyree, and Mathieu W.R. Wallis.
