DESCRIPTION:The last decade has witnessed an explosion of interest in clas
 sical reception and a large number of publications specifically on women a
 nd classical reception. Women's roles as readers\, translators and creativ
 e revisionists of classical literature are no longer kept invisible. The n
 otion of classical reception\, its definitions and boundaries\, its locati
 ons and sources\, are being revised and extended. What are the tropes and 
 metaphors by which women articulate their relationship with classical cult
 ure? And to what extent has gender been a metaphor for writers' access to\
 , or marginalisation from\, the cultural capital that is classics? \n\nJen
 nifer Wallace\, author of _Shelley and Greece: Rethinking Romantic Helleni
 sm_ (1997) as well as articles on classical reception in the work of Eliza
 beth Barrett Browning\, Elizabeth Carter\, Mary Shelley and L.E.L.\, and e
 ditor of the forthcoming _Oxford History of Classical Reception in English
  Literature 1780-1880_\, considers these questions and asks what has been 
 lost and what has been gained from the re-focusing of attention from women
  and classical reception to gender.
