The Lesbian Lyre by Jeffrey M Duban
A groundbreaking study of the work of ancient Greek lyric poet Sappho. The author debunks the postmodernist scholarship by which Sappho is interpreted today and offers translations reflecting the charm and elegant simplicity of the originals.
"A humanities degree between two coversBrilliant." - David Dubal, The Juilliard School
JEFFREY DUBAN attended the Boston Public Latin School, beginning his study of Latin in the seventh grade and Greek in the tenth. As a Classics major at Brown, he also studied Old Testament, Sanskrit, and Classics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He obtained his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins and briefly entered upon university teaching, later earning his JD from Fordham. As an attorney, he specialized in academic law. The Lesbian Lyre is the inspiration for the author's program, in which he serves as narrator, of Sir Granville Bantock's Sappho: Nine Fragments for Contralto (see www.thelesbianlyre.com for further information).
