Description of Research
My research centres around a group of creative women expats (largely of American and British origin) in early 20th century Paris, and their attempts to re-create the community and creative gatherings of Sappho. My focus will be on their use of space, their creative work, and their interpretation of translated fragments of Sappho’s poetry, to (re)create a transhistorical and non-oppressive community of creative women.
