Diana Collecott argues that Sappho’s presence in H.D.’s work is as significant as Homer’s in Pound’s and Dante’s in Eliot’s. She traces how H.D. and other modernist women writers used Sappho and her fragments to shape a ‘Sapphic modernism,’ reading H.D.’s poetry and prose alongside the work of her contemporaries.
