The present volume on the Lesbian poet SAPPHO represents many years of thought and work and includes two previously unpublished new studies: "The Garden of the Grace: The Survival of Bronze Age Religious Motifs into the Modern Lyric Poem" and "The Clear-Voiced Song-Loving Lyre: Recent Explorations in Sapphic Studies."

... she shines out among the Lydian wives
like the rosy-fingered moon
when the sun has set,
outshining all the stars,
and it sheds its light on the salt sea
and the flowery fields alike,
and the dew is poured out in beauty,
and there bloom the roses
and tender chervils and blossomy honey lotuses,
and, wandering far off,
she yearns for gentle Atthis
and her delicate breast
is weighed down with desire,
her heart with grief ...

(Sappho, Fr. 96.6-17)
