Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
This edition reintroduces Sappho to the modern reader, providing a vivid, contemporary translation, which captures the spareness and the intensity of Sappho's line. The wondrous Mary Barnard translation was based, unfortunately, on the 1928 Loeb edition by J. M. Edmonds, who filled in many of Sappho's fragments with his own Creek lines. In Professor Barnstone's brilliant translation, Sappho's work is presented as we have inherited it, in its darkly anti-romantic idiom that rejects sentimentality and "prettiness."
