This essay focuses on the “female line” of Hellenism in Britain in the late 19th and early 20th century. It examines the historical context of women’s exclusion from higher education, the “counterdiscourse” of the poets Katherine Bradley and Edith Cooper (known as “Michael Field”), and the “heretic” Hellenism of the classicist Jane Harrison. Known as the first Englishwoman to become a professional academic, Harrison radically renovated Greek studies and influenced major Modernist writers with her focus on the irrationalist aspects of Greek religion.
