- Description
- 'The lost girl' analyses a number of British writers between 1850 and 1930 and the (shifting) influence and role of the Persephone myth.. In this myth Demeter sacrificed her daughter Kore-Persephone to the God of the Dead. This book, in addition to scrutinising canonical and less well-known texts by male authors such as Thomas Hardy, E.M. Forster and D.H. Lawrence, also focusses on unjustly neglected women writers - Mary Webb and Mary Butts. The texts are also placed in relation to Victorian archaeologists, especially Jane Ellen Harrison (1850-1928), and their influence on interpretation of Hellenist myth.

- Royal women - the wives, daughters, sisters and mothers of emperors - have made a profound impression on Roman history. This book characterizes eleven such women, spanning the period from the death of Julius Caesar in 44BC to the third century AD and with an epilogue surveying empresses of later eras. The author's biographies reveal their contributions towards the legacy of Imperial Rome. A pregnant Roman princess saves a Roman army through an act of personal heroism, three 3rd century empresses rule the most powerful state on Earth, presiding over social and political reform, an empress is immortalized in history for infidelity and corruption by students of her greatest enemy. .The women and their worlds are brought visually to life through photographs of over 300 ancient coins and through the author's own illustrations.
