Notă biografică
Maureen Alden read Classics at the University of Liverpool, where she studied Homer and Homeric archaeology with John Pinsent, himself a pupil of H. L. Lorimer. The work of the late Ioannis Kakridis, whom she met a number of times at the Symposia on the Odyssey in Ithaca, influenced her strongly. Her teaching interests include Homer, tragedy, and ancient art, and she has published widely on Homer, Bronze Age archaeology, and also on costume, ancient and modern; the latter works include pieces on Homeric comforts for the troops in World War II and Homeric influences on the corsetry trade.
Recenzii
Alden's writing is consistently clear, brisk, and lively: there is no jargon, no great tangled nightmare sentences of fifteen sub-clauses in a heap. There are nice flickers of humour-I particularly enjoyed her dry observation that 'eating your guests is an extreme way of detaining them' (p. 38). The book is a pleasure to read; even the passages of plot synopsis zip along.
