Sappho Companion

"Throughout history, Sappho has been labeled a genius, a pervert, a lovely blushing maiden, a homely bluestocking, a nymphomaniac, an uptight schoolmistress, a solitary, a diva, a cult leader, an abandoned lover, an irresistible seducer, the 'Tenth Muse,' a mother, a feminist, a victim, a masochist and a sadist. With THE SAPPHO COMPANION British critic Margaret Reynolds has collected bits and pieces of all these Sapphos into a single, diverting volume. The book is like a plate assembled at a vast literary buffet -- a dab of this, a morsel of that, the sweet, the salty, the delectable, the piquant and, occasionally, the cloying."Reynolds, Margaret is the author of 'Sappho Companion' with ISBN 9780312295103 and ISBN 0312295103.
