This book analyses literary and historical publishing evidence about "The Assembly of Ladies", to show that poem has remained in print not for its literary merit, but because its anonymity has allowed it to be appropriated for their own particular social and political causes.

The Doloneia is the most controversial book of the Iliad, its authenticity being doubted since antiquity. But by applying sophisticated interpretive tools, this book maintains that Iliad 10 was not composed by a single poet, that it is thematically consonant with the rest of the Iliad, and that it has evolved from an earlier Iliadic version.

Poetry of the Second World War
