Reminiscences of a Student's Life by Jane Harrison
The arch, witty, outspoken memoirs of the pioneering archaeologist and scholar Mary Beard has called my hero.
Jane Ellen Harrison (1850–1928) was born and raised in Yorkshire, England, the daughter of a prosperous timber broker; her mother died soon after she was born. Educated at home as a child, Harrison enrolled in 1874 in the newly established Newnham College for women, at Cambridge University, where she later taught. In 1903 Harrison published her Prolegomena to the Study of Greek Religion, followed in 1912 by Themis, works that synthesized new developments in archaeology and anthropology and helped revolutionize the study of ancient Greek civilization. A popular lecturer whose articles enjoyed a wide readership, Harrison retired from teaching in 1922 and spent her last years in Paris with her “spiritual daughter,” the poet Hope Mirrlees. Daniel Mendelsohn’s books include The Odyssey: A Father, a Son, and an Epic, Gender and the City in Euripides’ Political Plays, and translations of the collected poems of Sappho and C. P. Cavafy.
