Title: The Invention of Jane Harrison Author: Mary Beard Narrator: Lucy Rayner Format: mp3 Length: 6 hrs and 24 mins Release date: 03-14-23 Ratings: 4 out of 5 stars, 5 ratings Genres: Professionals & Academics Publisher's Summary: Jane Ellen Harrison (1850-1928) is the most famous female Classicist in history, the author of books that revolutionized our understanding of Greek culture and religion. A star in the British academic world, she became the quintessential Cambridge woman—as Virginia Woolf suggested when, in A Room of One's Own, she claims to have glimpsed Harrison's ghost in the college gardens. This lively and innovative portrayal of a fascinating woman raises the question of who wins (and how) in the competition for academic fame. Mary Beard captures Harrison's ability to create her own image.
