I was impressed at the time by The Laughter of Aphrodite, about Sappho, but have no idea how this would hold up now.

And yeah, I don't think of Mary Renault as languishing in obscurity, either. People certainly still mention her to me in the context of <i>Alcestis</i> all the time -- though I've only ever read one of her books. Thanks for noting your favorites, Sarah.

That almost never happens. The Sontag isn't one of these, but I have enjoyed the Allende, Romano-Lax, Amirrezvani, Undset, Year of Wonders... There was an odd piece I saw in the Guardian (I think) recently about Mary Renault and why she was a forgotten writer nowadays. I didn't think she had been forgotten at all. (Except on that list.)
