A Penelopean Poetics Reweaving the Feminine

A Penelopean Poetics looks at the relationship between gender ideology and the self-referential poetics fo the Odyssey through the figure of Penelope. Her poetics become a discursive thread through which different feminine voices can realize their resistant capacities. Author, Barbara Clayton, informs discussions in the classics, gender studies, and literary criticism.

Barbara Clayton teaches in the Classics Department and in the Introduction to the Humanities Program at Stanford University.
