Victorian Sappho

Victorian Sappho

by YopiePrins (Author)

Synopsis

What is Sappho, except a name? Although the Greek archaic lyrics attributed to Sappho of Lesbos survive only in fragments, she has been invoked for many centuries as the original woman poet, singing at the origins of a Western lyric tradition. This book traces the emergence of this idealized feminine figure.
