Essays on Sappho's 'afterlife': how scholars and writers from antiquity onward have read the fragments of her poetry. As each generation creates its own Sappho, the tradition becomes an index of changing ideas about sexuality, gender roles and female authorship. With its companion volume Reading Sappho, it forms the first anthology of Sappho scholarship.
