Sappho sang her poetry to the accompaniment of the lyre on the Greek island of Lesbos over 2500 years ago. Throughout the Greek world, her contemporaries composed lyric poetry full of passion, and in the centuries that followed the golden age of archaic lyric, new forms of poetry emerged. In this unique anthology, today's reader can enjoy the works of seventeen poets, including a selection of archaic lyric and the complete surviving works of the ancient Greek women poets-the latter appearing together in one volume for the first time.Sappho's Lyre is a combination of diligent research and poetic artistry. The translations are based on the most recent discoveries of papyri (including "new" Archilochos and Stesichoros) and the latest editions and scholarship. The introduction and notes provide historical and literary contexts that make this ancient poetry more accessible to modern readers.Although this book is primarily aimed at the reader who does not know Greek, it would be a splendid supplement to a Greek language course. It will also have wide appeal for readers of' ancient literature, women's studies, mythology, and lovers of poetry.

Très célèbres entre 1789 et 1825, avant que Stendhal, Balzac ou Hugo n'occupent le devant de la scène romanesque, les "romancières sentimentales" seront pourtant très vite oubliées. Sophie Cottin, Adélaïde de Souza, Claire de Duras, Félicité de Genlis, Sophie Gay, Julie de Kriidener et Germaine de Staël ont toutes vu leurs destins bouleversés par la Révolution. Cette fracture leur a donné la possibilité et le désir d'écrire. Mais pourquoi leurs romans ont-ils disparu de l'histoire littéraire, alors qu'ils plaisaient aux contemporains ? Quel sens ces textes si vite réputés illisibles avaient-ils pour les lecteurs de cette période de transition entre les XVIIIe et XIXe siècles, qui voit s'achever le temps des Lumières et naître le Romantisme ? Et que nous révèlent les romans sentimentaux féminins oubliés de celles et ceux qui les ont dévorés et admirés ? Telles sont quelques-unes des questions auxquelles Romancières sentimentales essaie de répondre. L'ouvrage s'achève sur une interprétation d'Armance autorisée par la mise au jour de cette littérature romanesque féminine avec laquelle et contre laquelle s'est écrit le premier roman de Stendhal. Participant ainsi d'une histoire culturelle, d'une histoire des sensibilités et des mentalités, il contribue également à une histoire littéraire qui associe histoire des textes et des auteurs et histoire des lecteurs et des lectures.

Barbara Newman reintroduces English-speaking readers to an extraordinary and gifted figure of the twelfth-century renaissance. Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) was mystic and writer, musician and preacher, abbess and scientist who used symbolic theology to explore the meaning of her gender within the divine scheme of things. With a new preface, bibliography, and discography, Sister of Wisdom is a landmark book in women's studies, and it will also be welcomed by readers in religion and history.
