{"product_id":"the-new-sappho-on-old-ellen-greene-9780674032958","title":"The New Sappho on Old Age: Textual and Philosophical Issues","description":"The world has long wished for more of Sappho's poetry, which exists mostly in tantalizing fragments. So the apparent recovery in 2004 of a virtually intact poem by Sappho, only the fourth to have survived almost complete, has generated unprecedented excitement and discussion among scholarly and lay audiences alike. This volume is the first collection of essays in English devoted to discussion of the newly recovered Sappho poem and two other incomplete texts on the same papyri. Containing eleven new essays by leading scholars, it addresses a wide range of textual and philological issues connected with the find. Using different approaches, the contributions demonstrate how the \"New Sappho\" can be appreciated as a complete, gracefully spare poetic statement regarding the painful inevitability of death and aging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ellen Greene\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674032950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674032958\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 272","brand":"Ellen Greene","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946901209343,"sku":"9780674032958","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6c903577-3a5c-4db0-b6e9-3e76f85ce93a.jpg?v=1681515672","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-sappho-on-old-ellen-greene-9780674032958","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
