There are some historic figures where I’m almost at the point of saying, “I know there are a lot more publications about this person and their work that I haven’t read yet, but I’m not sure they’ll add value to the Project beyond what I already have.” Which isn’t to say that they might not be “better” in some absolute sense than material I’ve already covered. It’s a conundrum. Katherine Philips is on that list. (Heck—Sappho is on the list.) But I’m not quite yet at the point of moving those articles to the end of the priority list.
