Most Comprehensive I've Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Just fininshing up a history term paper here for my major, and I thought I'd drop off a good word for the best secondary source on Sappho's life and work that I've ever seen. Ms. Williamson leaves no rock unturned, no aspect of Sappho's work or life unaddressed, and manages to do it in an entertaining and comprehensive way without running into 500 pages! If you are interested in Sappho at all beyond the text of her extant poetry, this is the book to buy!
