	Jane Ellen Harrison (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Jane Ellen Harrison was born in Yorkshire on 9 September 1850 and died in London on 15 April 1928.
		She was the third daughter of Charles Harrison, a timber merchant with business interests in Russia, and Elizabeth, née Hawksley Nelson, who died soon after her birth.
		Many of Harrison’s conclusions, relying as they did on shaky underpinnings of the latest theories of social scientists, proved ephemeral, but her approach forever changed the study of ancient Greek religion.

	Jane Ellen Harrison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jane Ellen Harrison (September 9, 1850–April 5, 1928) was a ground-breaking English classical scholar and feminist.
		Harrison spent most of her professional life at Newnham, the progressive, recently-established college for women at Cambridge.

		Harrison became a member of the college council in 1894; she came back into residence in 1898 and was appointed a staff lecturer in 1899 In 1900-1903, she was the first holder of an Associates’ Research Fellowship.
		Harrison suggested the westernmost stairway between the north porch of the Erechtheum and the Propylaea, in Mythology and Monuments of Ancient Athens, 163.
		Harrison was runner-up for the Yates Chair at UCL twice; "the brew of 'anthropological' rant and radicalism Harrison lent, pur, and lost her name to was making her the perfect candidate for round rejection by hordes of classical men.

		Jane Harrison was Vice-President of the Hellenic Society from 1889 to 1896.
		In 1922 Jane Harrison retired from lecturing and she and Hope Mirrlees moved to a house in Bloomsbury, London.
		At some point, however, there was a 'terrific bust-up' and Harrison is later to be found angered by Strong and the 'unscrupulous way she used people to get on', while in the drafts of her autobiography Strong refers darkly to the kind of woman who applied 'the power of fascination...

		But it is also keenly committed to a psychoanalytic approach: for example, Harrison's early loss of her mother and supposed competition with her stepmother for her (emotionally rather remote) father's attentions are seen as the elements of a classic Oedipal situation.
		Harrison's familiarity with current German scholarship generally, as can be seen in her major works, may have surpassed that of both F.M. Cornford and Gilbert Murray.
		The role of gender bias in Harrison's failure to win the post is downplayed by both William M. Calder, "Jane Harrison's Failed Candidacies for the Yates Professorship (1888, 1896): What Did Her Colleagues Think of Her?" in The Cambridge Ritualists Reconsidered, ed.

		Harrison applied current archaeological discoveries to the interpretation of Greek religion in ways that have become standard.
		Her first monograph, in 1882, drew on the thesis that both Homer's Odyssey and motifs of the Greek vase-painters were drawing upon similar deep sources for mythology, the opinion that had not been common in earlier classical archaeology, that the repertory of vase-painters offereed some unusual commentaries on myth and ritual.
		Her lectures on Greek art (given to prosperous, predominantly female audiences) were immensely popular in the 1880s, and her unorthodox fascination with pagan folk rituals often stirred up gossip.

		For Woolf, Harrison was one of the first generation of British women to write non-fiction seriously.
		Harrison was one of Newnham’s first students, returning to college (after a couple of simultaneously hardworking and glamorous decades in London) in 1898 and remaining almost until her death in 1928.

		Driven by the conviction that the study of primitive Greek culture was an intensely practical enterprise, addressing the fundamental emotional needs of all people, she set her academic research in the broader context of human life.
		Although she was a powerful role model for academic women and addressed issues which were central to the women's movement, when it came to women's rights, her own views were not always in keeping with those of her suffragist contemporaries.
		Harrison wrote not to champion any cause, but out of a passionate desire to share what she believed to be important and true.

	Harrison, J.Ellen: Prolegomena to the Study of Greek Religion.
		Jane Harrison examines the festivals of ancient Greek religion to identify the primitive "substratum" of ritual and its persistence in the realm of classical religious observance and literature.
		In Harrison's preface to this remarkable book, she writes that J. Frazer's work had become part and parcel of her "mental furniture" and that of others studying primitive religion.
		Harrison is not afraid to look for relevance in archaic cult, and doesn't flinch on finding it.

		Jane Ellen Harrison (1850-1928) is the most famous female Classicist in history, the author of books that revolutionized our understanding of Greek culture and religion.
		And she contrasts her story with that of Eugénie Sellers Strong, a younger contemporary and onetime intimate, the author of major work on Roman art and once a glittering figure at the British School in Rome--but who lost the race for renown.
		The setting for the story of Harrison's career is Classical scholarship in this period--its internal arguments and allegiances and especially the influence of the anthropological strain most strikingly exemplified by Sir James Frazer.

		Yet the two booklength lives of Murray, the two of Harrison, and the one of Frazer have all been written by non-classicists, two of them by Americans and one by an Australian.

		This becomes the most authoritative public evaluation of Harrison before her failed candidacies for the Yates Chair.

		Although partly out-of-date, Jane Harrison's analysis of 'neglected' aspects of Greek religion proves these aspects to be 'essential'.
		Moreover, parts of it might be frustrating and tedious for readers without knowledge of the ancient Greek language, since Harrison is constantly engaged in the elucidiation and discussion of Greek religious terminology.
		Even today (Professor Harrison died of leukemia in 1928) modern scholars and intellectuals such as Walter Burkert and Camille Paglia continue to draw on her magnificent work.

		Jane Ellen Harrison, British classicist at the turn of the century, was a pioneering scholar in her field, one of the first to apply new anthropological and psychological theories to the study of ancient Greek culture.
		It was not only her scholarship that angered her critics; Harrison's feminism, pacifism, and atheism made her a particular target for the outrage of conservative male colleagues.
