Archilochus: The Poems: Introduction, Text, Translation, and Commentary

Oxford University Press, 2019

I expect I will return often to her very sophistocated consideration of that old chesnut, the Victorian crystallization of lyric subjectivity in a political-poetical dramaturgy of self-spectatorship. And I find an extraordinary resonance in her...
