BIBLIOGRAPHY

The following list comprises most of the books and articles in Sapphic literature which I have consulted. I have added a few to which I have had reference, but which I have not succeeded in seeing: many of them are mere curiosities. I could have still further extended the bibliography, if I had taken more on trust. I have not generally thought it necessary to quote well-known histories of Greece and Greek literature, nor such translations as throw no light upon her beyond what this list contains.

NEW POETRY

THE POEMS OF WILLIAM WATSON

Edited and arranged, with an Introduction, by J. A. SPENDER.
In 2 Volumes. With Portrait and many new Poems.

Crown 8vo, 9s. net.

Times.—"William Watson is, above all things, an artist who is proud of his calling and conscientious in every syllable that he writes. To appreciate his work you must take it as a whole, for he is in a line with the high priests of poetry, reared, like Ion, in the shadow of Delphic presences and memories, and weighing every word of his utterance before it is given to the world."

Athenæum.—"His poetry is a 'criticism of life,' and, viewed as such, it is magnificent in its lucidity, its elegance, its dignity. We revere and admire Mr. Watson's pursuit of a splendid ideal; and we are sure that his artistic self-mastery will be rewarded by a secure place in the ranks of our poets.... We may express our belief that Mr. Watson will keep his high and honourable station when many showier but shallower reputations have withered away, and must figure in any representative anthology of English poetry.... 'Wordsworth's Grave,' in our judgment, is Mr. Watson's masterpiece ... its music is graver and deeper, its language is purer and clearer than the frigid droning and fugitive beauties of the 'Elegy in a Country Churchyard.'"

Westminster Gazette.—"It is remarkable that when Mr. Watson's poetry directly invites comparison with the poetry of preceding masters his equality always, his incomparable superiority often becomes instantly apparent.... No discerning critic could doubt that there are more elements of permanence in Mr. Watson's poems than in those of any of his present contemporaries.... A very treasury of jewelled aphorisms, as profound and subtle in wisdom and truth as they are consummately felicitous in expression."

Bookman.—"From the very first in these columns we have pleaded by sober argument, not by hysterical praise, Mr. Watson's right to the foremost place among our living poets. The book is ... a collection of works of art, like a cabinet of gems."

Spectator.—"The two volumes will be welcomed by the poet's numerous admirers. There is a pleasure in the possession of a complete edition of a great writer's works.... We must apologise for quoting so copiously, but the book is so full of beautiful things that in his pleasure at seeing them all together the critic is irresistibly tempted to take them out and remind his readers of them separately."

St. James's Gazette.—"The publication of these volumes confers a distinct benefit on contemporary thought, contemporary poetry, and on English literature in a wider sense."

Mr. William Archer (in the Morning Leader).—"Among the critics of the nineties enamoured of this or that phase of eccentricity, affectation, or excess, Mr. Watson had to pay dearly for his austere fidelity to his ideal of pure and perfect form. But these days are past; detraction now hides its diminished head; the poet ... is clearly seen to be of the great race."

Times.—"There are not more than two or three living writers of English verse out of whose poems so good a selection could be made. The poems in the selection are not only positive; they are visible."

Athenæum.—"There is urgent need for a collected edition of Mr. Davidson's poems and plays. The volume and the variety of his poetry ought to win for it wider acceptance. It is indeed curious that poetry so splendid as Mr. Davidson's should fail to get fuller recognition. There are many aspects of his genius which ought to make his work popular in the best sense of the word. He has almost invented the modern ballad.... He handles the metre with masterly skill, filling it with imaginative life and power."

Literary World.—"We count ourselves among those to whom Mr. Davidson has made himself indispensable."

Daily Mail.—"Mr. Davidson is our most individual singer. His variety is as surprising as his virility of diction and thought."

St. James's Gazette.—"This volume may serve as an introduction to a poet of noble and distinctive utterance."

New Age.—"The book contains much that Mr. Davidson's warmest admirers would best wish to remember him by. There is a subtle charm about these poems which eludes definition, which defies analysis."

T. P.'s Weekly.—"Mr. Davidson is one of the most individual of living poets; he has a rare lyrical faculty."

Morning Post.—"Mr. Davidson is as true a poet as we have now among us.... He has included nothing that we do not admire."

Daily Graphic.—"This delightful volume."

Dundee Advertiser.—"Its poetry gives out a masterful note.... Mr. Davidson's poem pictures."

PAOLO AND FRANCESCA: A Tragedy in Four Acts. Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d. net.

Mr. W. L. Courtney (in the Daily Telegraph).—"We possess in Mr. Stephen Phillips one who redeems our age from its comparative barrenness in the higher realms of poetry."

Mr. William Archer (in the Daily Chronicle).—"A thing of exquisite poetic form, yet tingling from first to last with intense dramatic life. Mr. Phillips has achieved the impossible. Sardou could not have ordered the action more skilfully. Tennyson could not have clothed the passion in words of purer loveliness."

ULYSSES: A Drama. In a Prologue and Three Acts. Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d. net.

Mr. James Douglas (in the Star).—"'Ulysses' is a splendid shower of dazzling jewels flung against gorgeous tapestries that are shaken by the wind of passion. Mr. Stephen Phillips is the greatest poetic dramatist we have had since Elizabethan times."

Daily Chronicle.—"Mr. Phillips is, in the fullest sense of the word, a dramatic poet."

Daily Telegraph.—"It is a grateful task to discover in the new volume many indications of that truly poetic insight, that vigorous expression of idea, that sense of literary power and mastery which have already made Mr. Stephen Phillips famous."

HEROD: A Tragedy. Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d. net.

Times.—"Here, then, is a noble work of dramatic imagination dealing greatly with great passions; multicoloured and exquisitely musical. Mr. Stephen Phillips is not only a poet, and a rare poet, but that still rarer thing, a dramatic poet."

Mr. William Archer (in the World).—"The elder Dumas speaking with the voice of Milton."

Athenæum.—"Not unworthy of the author of 'The Duchess of Malfi.'"

POEMS. Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d. net.

Times.—"Mr. Phillips is a poet, one of the half-dozen men of the younger generation whose writings contain the indefinable quality which makes for permanence."

Spectator.—"In his new volume Mr. Stephen Phillips more than fulfils the promise made by his 'Christ in Hades': here is real poetic achievement—the veritable gold of song."

Literature.—"No such remarkable book of verse as this has appeared for several years."

NEW POEMS. Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d. net.

Spectator.—"The poems almost without exception are characteristic of Mr. Phillips' best work."

Notes

[1]

Prof. Domenico Comparetti has lately (1876) published an essay on the authenticity of this Epistle and on its value in elucidating the history of Sappho. After minutely examining all the evidence against it, he concludes that it is the genuine work of Ovid. And in 1885 De Vries brought out an elaborate dissertation on the same subject; he proves, almost to a certainty, that Ovid wrote the Epistle in question. But the fact remains that it is absent from all the oldest and best MSS., and was only given its present place in Ovid's Heroic Epistles by Heinsius in 1629. Even if it be genuine, we may safely aver that in Ovid's day it was far more difficult to estimate Sappho's character rightly than it is now. The Romans, we can well believe, were likely to regard her in no other light than that in which she had been portrayed by the facile and unscrupulous comedians of Athens.

[2]

The exact site of Naucrătis was unknown until December 1884, when Mr. W. M. Flinders Petrie, acting as agent for the Egypt Exploration Fund, discovered it at Nebireh, or rather close to El Gaief, a modern Arab village on the Rosetta mouth of the Nile, about forty miles from the present sea-coast. It is near the edge of the Delta, some six miles N.E. of Tel-el-Barûd, a railway station nearly midway between Alexandria and Cairo. Before Mr. Petrie's explorations, Naucrătis had been sought for several miles nearer the sea than it actually lay, and its identification had been despaired of. For centuries it was the only city in Egypt in which the Greeks were permitted to settle and carry on commerce unmolested. Ionians, Dorians, and Aeolians there united in a sort of Hanseatic league, with special representatives and a common sanctuary, the Panhellēnion—which served as a tie among them. This rich colony remained in faithful connection with the mother-country, contributed to public works in Hellas, received political fugitives from that home as guests, and made life fair for them, as for its own children, after the Greek model. The women and the flower-garlands of Naucrătis were unsurpassed in beauty.

[3]

Psammetichus flourished about 588 B.C. He was the Pharaoh-hophra mentioned by the prophet Jeremiah (xliv. 30), whose house in Tahpanhes has been recently discovered by Mr. Petrie.

[4]

Such light as can be thrown upon the legend from Comparative Mythology, and from the possible etymologies of the names of Sappho and Phaon, has been, I fear rather inconclusively, gathered by Leonello Modona in his La Saffo storica (Florence, 1878). Human nature, however, varies so little from age to age, that I think it better to judge the story as it has come down to us, than to resort to the most erudite guessing.

[5]

Sappho's riddle is translated in full by Colonel Higginson in his Atlantic Essays, p. 321.

[6]

A quaint mediæval commentator on Horace, quoted by Professor Comparetti, says this passage (querentem Sappho puellis de popularibus) refers to Sappho's complaining, even in Hades, of her Lesbian fellow-maidens for not loving the youth with whom she was herself so much in love.

[7]

ποικιλόθρον' = richly worked throne, is by some read ποικιλόφρον = full of various wiles, subtle-minded.

[8]

When Fatima was first published (1832) this motto was prefixed—

Φαίνεταί μοι κῆνος ἴσος θεοῖσιν

ἔμμεν ἀνήρ,

showing Tennyson's acknowledgments to Sappho.

[9]

Line 19, 'quas non sine crimine amavi,' which Pope translates thus, is read in many old texts 'quas hic sine crimine amavi' = whom here I blamelessly loved; and even if the former reading be adopted, it must be remembered that crimen means 'an accusation' more often than it does 'a crime.'
