Works by Homer, Sappho, Plato, Sophocles, and Ovid (among others) will be brought into dialogue with E. M. Forster’s Maurice, Virginia Woolf’s Orlando, Mark Merlis’ An Arrow’s Flight, Madeline Miller’s Song of Achilles, Selby Wynn Schwartz’s After Sappho, and Bernardine Evaristo’s The Emperor’s Babe.
