Sappho of Lesbos by Margaret Goldsmith

A psychological biography of Sappho of Lesbos written by a layman for laymen, and not a dissertation written for classical scholars, this work concentrates on her character as expressed in the fragments of her work handed down to us. Margaret Goldsmith was a historian whose other works include studies of Frederick the Great, John the Baptist, Christina of Sweden, Florence Nightingale and Seven Women Against The World.
