Sappho of Lesbos Her Life and Times
New York: Frederick A. Stokes, 1932.
Price: $150.00
Hardcover. First edition. Tall octavo. 328pp. Illustrated. Fine in attractive, very good illustrated dustwrapper with several small chips and tears. Popular biography by a noted Egyptologist that purports to tell the story of "the greatest poetess who ever lived," and of "the story of her strange, unhallowed life and tragic death." Little was actually known of Sappho's life, and only a fragment of her poetry exists, but Weigall seems to have been happy to jazz up the story. Scarce in jacket.
