Recenzijas

A convincing argument for - and vivid demonstration of - the relevance of Young Adult literature in giving us a full picture of the reception of the ancient world. -- Gregory N. Daugherty, Professor Emeritus of Classics, Randolph-Macon College, USA [ Salcedo Gonzįlezs] contribution to the discussion of the reception of the Persephone myth is valuable because it spotlights YA literature and foregrounds it as being worthy of analysis. YA literature, and YA audiences, tend to not be taken seriously. Salcedo Gonzįlezs special attention to this topic clearly demonstrates how YA literature operates at the same level of cultural importance as the ancient originals. Hopefully her work will inspire future research on the reception of ancient myths in YA literature that consider their place within the wider YA corpus. * Classical Journal * Salcedo Gonzalez illustrates how study of the ancient story of Persephone resonates even in the most modern of contexts and can provide adolescent readers with another feminine icon ... Recommended [ for] all readers. * CHOICE *
