Abstract
This highly original essay treats “Penelope” as a book-body in motion and, consequently, as one that is to be discussed in terms of its speed or indeed slowness of speed. It treats speed in contemporary Futurist theory as well as varying different senses of speed, including speed as represented and the speed of rhythm and performance and meaning to produce a suggestive new approach to reading the fluid dynamics of the episode.
