From the rear cover
"Yopie Prins elegantly unravels the complex Victorian reception of Sappho. Notable above all for what it reveals about the theory and practice of translation, her book offers brilliant close readings of the translation, interpretation, imitation or adaption of Sappho's notoriously ambigious and fragmentary poetry."--Helene Foley, Barnard College, Columbia University
"Few readers of Victorian poetry display Yopie Prins's remarkable erudition, theoritical subtlety, and interpretive acuity. Her brilliant discussion illuminates how and why Sappho took many distinctive lyric shapes in Victorian culture. Further, Prins reveals how a searching, deconstructive critique of lyric can produce an innovative literary history."--Joseph Bristow, University of California, Los Angeles
