Gwyneth Lewis was born in Cardiff in 1959, to Welsh-speaking parents. Her father taught her English when she was two, to entertain her while her mother was in hospital giving birth to her sister. She attended a bilingual school in Pontypridd, before studying English at Cambridge University. In the 1980s, Gwyneth Lewis was at Oxford, carrying out doctoral work on the eighteenth-century antiquarian and forger, Iolo Morganwg. She also studied at Harvard and in the Graduate Writing Division of Columbia University, and worked for a time as a freelance journalist in New York, before returning to Britain to work as a TV director and producer for the BBC. Lewis’s poetry was met with immediate acclaim when she began to publish in the 1990s. Unusually, she has always written in the medium of English and Welsh; her first book, Sonedau Redsa (Redsa’s Sonnets, 1990) was followed by the English-language Parables and Faxes (1995) and Zero Gravity (1998), which was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for poetry. -

The IWA is an independent organisation owing no allegiance to any political or economic interest group. Our only interest is in seeing Wales flourish as a country in which to work and live. We are funded by a range of organisations and individuals, including the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, and the Waterloo Foundation. For more information about the Institute, its publications, and how to join, either as an individual or corporate supporter, contact: IWA - Institute of Welsh Affairs, 4 Cathedral Road, Cardiff CF11 9LJ T: 029 2066 0820 F: 029 2023 3741 E: [email protected] www.iwa.org.uk www.clickonwales.org Inspired by the bardd teulu (household poet) tradition of medieval and Renaissance Wales, the H’mm Foundation is seeking to bridge the gap between poets and people by bringing modern poetry more into the public domain and particularly to the workplace. The H’mm Foundation is named after H’m, a volume of poetry by R.S. Thomas, and because the musing sound ‘H’mm’ is an internationally familiar ‘expression’, crossing all linguistic frontiers. This literary venture has already secured the support of well-known poets and writers, including Gillian Clarke, National Poet for Wales, Jon Gower, Menna Elfyn, Nigel Jenkins, Peter Finch and Gwyneth Lewis. -

Ruth Macdonald Finalised Thesis
RETHINKING THE HOMERIC HERO IN CONTEMPORARY BRITISH WOMEN’S WRITING: CLASSICAL RECEPTION, FEMINIST THEORY AND CREATIVE PRACTICE Ruth MacDonald Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Royal Holloway, University of London. Declaration of Authorship I Ruth MacDonald hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed:_____________________________________ Date:_______________________________________ - 2 - Abstract Sustained engagements with ciphers of traditional Homeric stereotypes can be found in a number of texts written by women. This thesis will examine how three texts in particular, Elizabeth Cook’s Achilles (2001), Gwyneth Lewis’s A Hospital Odyssey (2010) and Kate Tempest’s Brand New Ancients (2012), allow an argument to develop for the centrality of various strategies and perspectives, such as embodiment and intersubjectivity. I suggest that the figuration of the nomad, as articulated in the philosophies of Gilles Deleuze and Rosi Braidotti in particular, is key to understanding both twenty-first century experiences and expressions of corporeality, as well as receptions of the Homeric hero in women’s writing today. Heroic bodies in Cook, Lewis, and Tempest are vulnerable and liminal, oscillating between borderlines or lurking at the margins, disrupting heteronormative systems and structures by transgressing boundaries, codes and limits in the relationship between value, the body and the mind as traditionally understood. Though in some obvious ways distant, the Homeric heroic body nevertheless retains a resonance and influence in twenty-first century British cultural understandings. This thesis thus explores the role of an ‘intimate other’ (the Homeric hero) in engaging classical reception, feminist politics and contemporary women’s writing in dialogue. -
