Book Synopsis Sappho's Sweetbitter Songs by : Lyn Hatherly Wilson
Download or read book Sappho's Sweetbitter Songs written by Lyn Hatherly Wilson. This book was released on 1996. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The woman-made world described in Sappho's songs has been discussed and analysed for centuries. In Sappho's Sweetbitter Songs, late twentieth century theories of feminism, psychoanalysis and literary criticism are applied to Sappho's lyrics for the first time. The study recreates and examines a voice that sings of the dreams and interactions of women, tells of the bodies, rhythms and desires of the women of Sappho's circle. At the same time it offers an analysis of sexual difference, comparing the homoerotic lyrics of male poets of that era to those of Sappho.

Book Synopsis Sappho by : Marguerite Johnson
Download or read book Sappho written by Marguerite Johnson. This book was released on 2013-10-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series of short incisive books introduces major figures of the ancient world to the modern general reader, including the essentials of each subject's life, works, and significance for later western civilisation. In the newly created tradition of the "Ancients in Action" series, Marguerite Johnson has written a fascinating and accessible account of what remains of the life and works of the Greek poet, Sappho. Sappho's ancient biography is covered in addition to the post-classical accounts of her life, which continue to appear, in a variety of creative and non-creative contexts, in contemporary literature and art. Sappho's poetry, essentially preserved in tantalising fragments, is discussed in a series of thematic chapters that include her religious writings, particularly directed to the goddess of love, Aphrodite; personal interpretations of mythological themes; marriage hymns; and love songs to female companions.
