- catalog abstract ""A rebel against Victorian mores, Jane Ellen Harrison (1850-1928) was the first woman to make a name in modern classical scholarship. She was renowned for her public lectures on Greek art and for her books on ancient Greek religion and mythology. She was fascinated by primitive ritual as it survives in the superstitions and practices of ordinary people. Working together with Gilbert Murray at Oxford and Francis Cornford at Cambridge, she applied new discoveries in anthropology and sociology to classical studies, stirring up controversy amongst classicists, while influencing English writers such as T.S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf." "This biography reveals how much her life, which was marked by personal tragedies, influenced her work. Her success set new directions for classical studies and opened up new possibilities for academic women."--Jacket.".
