[PU: Princeton University Press], XIII, 279 p. Paperback. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Ein sehr gutes Exemplar / an excellent copy. - What is Sappho, except a name? Although the Greek archaic lyrics attributed to Sappho of Lesbos survive only in fragments, she has been invoked for many centuries as the original woman poet, singing at the origins of a Western lyric tradition. Victorian Sappho traces the emergence of this idealized feminine figure through reconstructions of the Sapphic fragments in late-nineteenth- century England. Yopie Prins argues that the Victorian period is a critical turning point in the history of Sappho’s reception; what we now call “Sappho” is in many ways an artifact of Victorian poetics. Prins reads the Sapphic fragments in Greek alongside various English translations and imitations, considering a wide range of Victorian poets—male and female, famous and forgotten—who signed their poetry in the name of Sappho. By “declining” the name in each chapter, the book presents a theoretical argument about the Sapphic signature, as well as a historical account of its implications in Victorian England. Prins explores the relations between classical philology and Victorian poetics, the tropes of lesbian Writing, the aesthetics of meter, and nineteenth-century personifications of the “Poetess." Victorian Sappho reconfigures the study of Victorian poetry, as well as current scholarship on Sappho and her afterlife. Offering a history and theory of lyric as a gendered literary form, the book is an exciting and original contribution to Victorian studies, classical studies, comparative literature, and women’s studies. / CONTENTS List of Illustrations Acknowledgments INTRODUCTION Declining a Name The Victorian Legacy of Sappho Who Wrongs Sappho?
