About this book
The Odyssey, according to Samuel Butler, was composed by a woman. The author of Erewhon sets out to settle where and when she wrote, who she was, how she drew on the Iliad and how the poem grew. He places her in Trapani in Sicily and takes the princess Nausicaa, shown in the frontispiece, as her portrait of herself. The preface traces the argument to letters and articles in the Athenaeum and in Sicilian and Italian journals, with help from local scholars in Trapani and Calatafimi. This is the New York edition of 1922.
