A review by cassanette
The Beatriceid by Kate Elliott

4.0

The poem itself was alright but it's the essay afterwards that really made the message stand out to me. Elliott's essays are, as always, A+.

"So (...) while I can acknowledge the great achievement of The Aeneid, and thrill to its heroic adventures, I can also get tired of a powerful woman's story of love and rulership being cast as a tragedy when the dude (typically) gets off with a few faint regrets as he trots off to his next conquest."
