Peter Stothard discusses three histories of women in the ancient world, a new edition of Lawrence Durrell's Alexandria Quartet, published fifty years after the first book Justine appeared, and the collected letters of writer Penelope Fitzgerald, who was in her sixties before her first book was published and who went on to win a Booker prize.
