A 2 page paper contrasting John Milton’s Book IX of “Paradise Lost” with Amelia Lanyer’s “Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum”.

Sappho and the Female Relationship
[ send me this paper ]
A 2 page paper looking at Sappho’s poems in terms of her evocation of the powerful bonds between women. Sappho shows that the love that exists between best friends of the same sex is just as strong, just as powerful, as the love that exists between the more traditional pairings such as husband and wife, or mother and child, and it was for this reason that her poetry was censored, and has nearly disappeared. No sources.
