The Iliad

Catherine Burke in a recent article entitled "Female Homers: A Feminist "notos?" published on pages 57-91 of the Oxford University Press work Homer's Daughters: Women's Responses to Homer in the Twentieth Century and Beyond, edited by Fiona Cox and Elena Theodorakopoulos extensively comments on Weil's Iliad and notes that there is a "surprising dearth of literary scholarship" on this topic (p.58).   A search in my master database reveals over 25 works on Weil's Iliad from a literary perspective.

New Records added to Simone Weil Bibliography

Over 65 new records have been  added to the online version of the bibliography  https://simoneweil.library.ucalgary.ca

 4, 269 records are now posted and I have about 700 I am working on and continue to collect more!  My goal is to add at least 25 records to the online version each month.  Please let me know of works I am missing.
