«Studies from the Antique»: Kassandra e Klytemnestra secondo Emily Pfeiffer

Abstract

This article investigates two pairs of sonnets that portray Cassandra and Clytemnestra written by Emily Pfeiffer, one of the many neglected Victorian women writers. It explores the intertextual relation with the classical models and the ways in which the new interpretation of the two heroines given by Pfeiffer undermines the traditional one.
