摘要:Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad:
The Myth of Penelope and Odysseus
is one volume in a series of retellings of
myths from around the world by various
modern authors. Thirty-one publishers are
participating in the project; other writers
contracted to produce versions include
Chinua Achebe, Donna Tartt, and A. S.
Byatt; Karen Armstrong has written a general
account of myth (A Short History of
Myth, 2005) to accompany the series as a
whole. The project overall has the appearance
of a commercial enterprise, but the
test of its value, of course, will lie in the
quality of the individual volumes.
