No ancient poet has a wider following today than Sappho; her status
as the most famous woman poet from Greco-Roman antiquity, and as
one of the most prominent lesbian voices in history, has ensured a
continuing fascination with her work down the centuries. The
Cambridge Companion to Sappho provides an up-to-date survey of this
remarkable, inspiring, and mysterious Greek writer, whose poetic
corpus has been significantly expanded in recent years thanks to
the discovery of new papyrus sources. Containing an introduction,
prologue and thirty-three chapters, the book examines Sappho's
historical, social, and literary contexts, the nature of her poetic
achievement, the transmission, loss, and rediscovery of her poetry,
and the reception of that poetry in cultures far removed from
ancient Greece, including Latin America, India, China, and Japan.
All Greek is translated, making the volume accessible to everyone
interested in one of the most significant creative artists of all
time.
