Sapphic Violets: Lesbian Classics Boxed Set by Sappho

Sappho: One Hundred Lyrics contains the beautiful verses of the versatile Classical Greek poet that have been celebrated for centuries for its lyricism and beauty. Regiment of Women is the debut novel of Winifred Ashton writing as Clemence Dane. First published in 1917, the novel has gained some notoriety due to its more or less veiled treatment of lesbian relationships inside and outside a school setting. It is said to have inspired Radclyffe Hall to write The Well of Loneliness. Carmilla is narrated by a young woman preyed upon by a female vampire named Carmilla, later revealed to be Mircalla, Countess Karnstein (Carmilla is an anagram of Mircalla). Le Fanu presents the story as part of the casebook of Dr. Hesselius, whose departures from medical orthodoxy rank him as the first occult doctor in literature. The story is one of the earliest works of vampire fiction, predating Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) by 26 years.

Sappho was a lyric poet from the Greek island of Lesbos, and little is known about her life. Her poetry was known and adored across the ancient world, and she is thought to have lived between 612 and 570 B.C.E. Sappho is most recognized as a symbol of female homosexuality, having inspired the phrases sapphic and lesbian, and her poetry survive in fragmentary form today.
