The world has long wished for more of Sappho's poetry, which
exists mostly in tantalizing fragments. So the apparent recovery in
2004 of a virtually intact poem by Sappho, only the fourth to have
survived almost complete, has generated unprecedented excitement
and discussion among scholarly and lay audiences alike. This volume
is the first collection of essays in English devoted to discussion
of the newly recovered Sappho poem and two other incomplete texts
on the same papyri. Containing eleven new essays by leading
scholars, it addresses a wide range of textual and philological
issues connected with the find. Using different approaches, the
contributions demonstrate how the "New Sappho" can be appreciated
as a complete, gracefully spare poetic statement regarding the
painful inevitability of death and aging.
