- Double-weighted statement
- This volume is unusually wide-ranging in terms of both the time period and of the writers, who were the subject of the case studies. It was demanding to write an Introduction that prepared the reader for studies of women working in Spain, Germany, France, USA and Britain, as well as a variety of genres - from epic to rap, from the novel to lyric poetry, from memoir to translation. Furthermore the subject of the volume as a whole - Homer - was one outside my field of expertise, since I was more at home with receptions of Latin literature.

- Additional information
- This edited volume of circa 105000 words emerged from collaboration between scholars from several different nationalities, disciplines and career stages. It entailed months of careful selection and contact so that they could ensure as broad and vivid a picture of modern female Homeric reception as possible. As one of the co-editors Cox was responsible for 50% of this work. Cox wrote at least 50% of the circa 8000 word Introduction, which draws upon and creates links between all seventeen collaborators. She also wrote a single-authored chapter of circa 6000 words, and was 50% responsible for editing and proofreading the whole volume.
