Myths of the Underworld in Contemporary Culture: The Backward Gaze - Classical Presences
Fletcher, Judith (Professor of History and Ancient Studies, Professor of History and Ancient Studies, Wilfrid Laurier University)
Examining a range of contemporary fictional works that adapt Greco-Roman myths of the descent into the underworld, from novels and comics to children's culture, this volume reveals the ways in which the catabasis narrative can be manipulated by storytellers to reflect upon postmodern culture, feminist critiques, and postcolonial appropriations.
