“Homer’s Daughter deserves attention for its sly commentary on the genre of historical fiction; its complex relationship to Homer’s Odyssey; and its spirited protagonist, a young woman whose adventures as a lover and a poet diverge from the painful experiences that Graves attributes to male poets . . . . By presenting his modern novel as more authentic than the ancient epic, Graves wittily addresses theoretical questions about representing the past.” —Sheila Murnaghan, Alfred Reginald Allen Memorial Professor of Greek at the University of Pennsylvania
