"Re-Reading Sappho" reflects the recent fascination with Sappho's
"afterlife." The essays examine the changing interpretations of
scholars and writers who have read the fragmentary remains of
Sappho's poetry. As the contributors explore the ways that each
generation creates its own Sappho, the Sapphic tradition itself
becomes an index to changing sensibilities and cultural norms about
sexuality, gender roles, and notions of fema le authorship.
A legendary literary figure, Sappho has attracted readers, critics,
and biographers ever since she composed poems on the island of
Lesbos at the close of the seventh century B.C. Bringing together
some of the best recent criticism on the subject, this volume,
together with "Reading Sappho," represents the first anthology of
Sappho scholarship, drawing attention to Sappho's importance as a
poet and reflecting the diversity of critical approaches in
classical and literary scholarship during the last several decades.
