Sappho and the Virgin Mary
Same-Sex Love and the English Literary Imagination
Ruth Vanita
In this book, Vanita engages these two central icons of Western cultural mythology to rethink the concept of literary ancestry. Uncovering layers of love between women in works by male and female authors from the Romantic to the postcolonial, she demonstrates that lesbian connections have long animated the Western literary imagination.
