How does feminism exclude itself from certain historical discourses? Why has psychoanalysis placed myth at the centre of its explorations of the modern subject? Why are the Muses feminine? Do the categories of myth and politics intersect or are they mutually exclusive? Does feminism's recourse to myth offer a script of resistance or commit it to an ineffective utopianism? Covering a wide range of subject areas including poetry, philosophy, science, history, and psychoanalysis as well as classics, this book engages with these questions from a truly interdisciplinary perspective. It includes a specially commisssioned work of fiction,  Iphigeneia's Wedding', by the poet Elizabeth Cook.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVanda Zajko is Lecturer in Classics and Ancient History, University of Bristol.\u003cbr\u003e Miriam Leonard is Lecturer in Classics and Ancient History, University of Bristol. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 460\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 8.4 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 13, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42039713431632,"sku":"9780199237944","price":135.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/9540\/0016\/files\/WmtjdTlWZTl2WVc0VWxOelIra0J1UT09.webp?v=1771841712","url":"https:\/\/palm-malen-gift-shop-pmrc.myshopify.com\/products\/laughing-with-medusa-classical-myth-and-feminist-thought-paperback","provider":"Palm Malen Gift Shop -PMRC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
