Reviews
""In addition to being riveting to read, Modern Odysseys offers readers a compelling new framework for thinking about the emergence of counter subjectivities within international modernism and enlivens scholarly debates about the modern afterlives of Homer's Odyssey. The author's intellectual flair, theoretical verve, and impressive range all command attention."" --Emily Greenwood, author of Afro-Greeks: Dialogues Between Anglophone Caribbean Literature and Classics in the Twentieth Century ""The book's distinctiveness and charm are enhanced by the author's clarity and usefulness. Modern Odysseys makes a valuable intervention in the popular subfield of reception studies within classics."" --Alexander Beecroft, author of Authorship and Cultural Identity in Early Greece and China: Patterns of Literary Circulation ""With its focus on the soft pre-Homeric tradition as the prehistory of its post-Homeric continuation leading up to the twentieth-century odysseys re-told by Cavafy, Woolf, and Césaire, Michelle Zerba's study fills a very relevant gap of scholarly research."" --Dieter Fuchs, James Joyce Quarterly
