(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.
