Happy Mabon to those who celebrate it ^_^

(I plan to spend it mostly relaxing and writing, though if anyone wants to get together, let me know.)

I posted to my historical blog, this time about Sappho in early Canada.

I must've learned a lot in high school about drawing out a little information a long way -- the gist of it is that early Canadians managed to be obsessed with Sappho while ignoring anything even vaguely queer in her poetry. Early feminism was mostly interested in her as a woman who could write brilliantly.

"She fell asleep in this rapt mood--dreamed that she was Sappho springing from the Leucadian rock--woke to find herself at the bottom of the haystack with Ilse's startled face peering down at her."

That's from Emily Climbs, in case you didn't know.

I haven't read the blog yet, but I think I'm looking forward to it. Will probably read tonight after Em and Sairs head home.

Thank you -- that one I didn't know.

I looked up the publication date of Emily Climbs to see if it came pre-Isobel or post-. Nineteen twenty-five makes that pre-.
