This latest volume from accomplished literary critic Franco Ferrari offers extraordinary new insight into the life and works of Sappho, one of the most individualistic and evocative poets of antiquity. Sapphos Gift: The Poet and Her Community presents the fragmentary papyrological evidence about the poems, and considers Sapphos iconography, the types of poems and their occasions, her audience, and milieu. Important for those new to Sappho, this volume also offers fresh readings that will be of interest to scholars who are well familiar with the poems.
Benjamin Acosta-Hughes is Professor of Greek at The Ohio State University. Lucia Prauscello is Lecturer in Classics at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Trinity Hall.
