LAUGHING WITH MEDUSA: Classical Myth and Feminist Thought.

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original navy cloth, gilt ruled with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. Illustrated throughout with ten black and white photographs and reproductions of artworks. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, with a little rubbing to the spine tail, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents, with some tiny corner creases to a few pages, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and creased dustwrapper, which has a short closed tear to the head of the spine (reinforced to the underside with tape) and is otherwise free from fading or loss.

A collection of 16 essays exploring the reception of classical myth within feminist writing from an interdisciplinary perspective, including the story 'Iphigeneia's Wedding' by Elizabeth Cook, which was specially commissioned for this volume.
