- "Susan Sontag, who could have been Jane Harrison's successor as a supreme woman scholar."
Jane Ellen Harrison (September 9, 1850–April 5, 1928) was a ground-breaking British classical scholar, linguist and feminist. Harrison is one of the founders, with Karl Kerenyi and Walter Burkert, of modern studies in Greek mythology. She applied 19th century archaeological discoveries to the interpretation of Greek religion in ways that have become standard.
