Sappho of Lesbos - Her Life and Times - first US edition

by Arthur Weigall

Biography of the poet Sappho, written by Arthur Weigall - Late Inspector - General of Antiquities, Government of Egypt; Officer of the Order of Medjidieh.

Every known fragment of Sappho's poetry is quoted in full in this book. The early church burned much of Sappho's, but much remains preserved through the works of other ancient writers.

Book is in worn but very good condition. Jacket is chipped along edge folds, and moderately along the top and bottom of the spine. Collectible due to its obscurity as well as for its content.
