Imagining Ancient Women is the published text of Annabel Lyon’s Henry Kreisel Memorial Lecture, delivered at the University of Alberta’s Canadian Literature Centre. The lecture explores how contemporary novelists reconstruct the inner lives of women from antiquity, drawing on Lyon’s own experience writing The Golden Mean and The Sweet Girl.
The Henry Kreisel Memorial Lecture brings a different Canadian author to the University of Alberta each year. Lyon’s contribution reflects her interest in ancient Greek history and the challenges of writing historical fiction about figures whose perspectives were rarely recorded.
