DESCRIPTION:The last decade has witnessed an explosion of inte
 rest in classical reception and a large number of 
 publications specifically on women and classical r
 eception. Women's roles as readers\, translators a
 nd creative revisionists of classical literature a
 re no longer kept invisible. The notion of classic
 al reception\, its definitions and boundaries\, it
 s locations and sources\, are being revised and ex
 tended. What are the tropes and metaphors by which
  women articulate their relationship with classica
 l culture? And to what extent has gender been a me
 taphor for writers' access to\, or marginalisation
  from\, the cultural capital that is classics? \n\
 nJennifer Wallace\, author of _Shelley and Greece:
  Rethinking Romantic Hellenism_ (1997) as well as 
 articles on classical reception in the work of Eli
 zabeth Barrett Browning\, Elizabeth Carter\, Mary 
 Shelley and L.E.L.\, and editor 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 gai
 ned from the re-focusing of attention from women a
 nd classical reception to gender.
