The Lost Girls analyses a number of British writers between 1850 and 1930 for whom the myth of Demeter’s loss and eventual recovery of her cherished daughter Kore-Persephone, swept off in violent and catastrophic captivity by Dis, God of the Dead, had both huge personal and aesthetic significance. This book, in addition to scrutinising canonical and less well-known texts by male authors such as Thomas Hardy, E. M. Forster, and D. H. Lawrence, also focuses on unjustly neglected women writers – Mary Webb and Mary Butts – who utilised occult tropes to relocate themselves culturally, and especially in Butts’s case to recover and restore a forgotten legacy, the myth of matriarchal origins. These novelists are placed in relation not only to one another but also to Victorian archaeologists and especially to Jane Ellen Harrison (1850-1928), one of the first women to distinguish herself in the history of British Classical scholarship and whose anthropological approach to the study of early Greek art and religion both influenced – and became transformed by – the literature. Rather than offering a teleological argument that moves lock-step through the decades, The Lost Girls proposes chapters that detail specific engagements with Demeter-Persephone through which to register distinct literary-cultural shifts in uses of the myth and new insights into the work of particular writers.

Korè-Perséphone est une déesse marquée par la dualité, aussi bien dans son nom que dans son existence mythique. C'est une divinité en perpétuel mouvement entre deux mondes, le monde souterrain et celui des vivants, et entre deux statuts, celui de la jeune fille et celui de la femme mariée. La présente étude porte sur les aspects que le mythe de Korè-Perséphone a revêtus en Attique, sur son culte et sur sa présence en dehors de la religion civique. Y sont examinés le mythe de Korè et les étymologies du nom proposées par les Anciens, les fêtes et les cultes d'Attique où la double déesse apparaît, seule ou aux côtés de Déméter, ainsi que sa place dans la magie, dans les associations religieuses, dionysiaques ou orphiques, et dans l'"onirocritique" d'Artémidore. Duality of her nature is a salient trait of Greek goddess Kore-Persephone. It is reflected not only in her name but also in her fate. She moves perpetually between the Underworld and that of the Living, and between maidenhood and womanhood. This research focuses on the Kore-Persephone myth in Attica, how she was worshipped and how she was present even outside the civic religion. This work explores the myth of Kore, the etymology of her name according to ancient Greeks, how she was worshipped or celebrated in festivals in Attica, either alone or along with Demeter. Finally the author attempts to identify her role in magic, in the Dionysian or Orphic religious societies, and in Artemidorus' oneirocritical treatise.

"This volume presents the terracotta miscellaneous finds from the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore at Acrocorinth. The finds comprise 21 classes, including protomes and masks, altars, plaques, models of various personal and household items, and loomweights and other textile tools (the latter initially studied by Gloria S. Merker and brought to publication by Nancy Bookidis). In addition to providing a catalogue of the finds arranged according to their subjects, the authors compare these finds with similar objects found elsewhere in Greece and refer to literary, epigraphical, and visual sources to understand their possible uses and meanings and the character of religious activity that may have triggered their dedication in the sanctuary. This volume will greatly facilitate comparative studies of ancient Greek miscellaneous finds and will be an important reference for historians of Greek art as well as of Greek religion"--
