This book, written by a team of experts from many countries, provides a comprehensive account of the ways in which translation has brought the major literature of the world into English-speaking culture. Part I discusses theoretical issues and gives an overview of the history of translation into English. Part II, the bulk of the work, arranged by language of origin, offers critical discussions, with bibliographies, of the translation history of specific texts (e.g. the Koran, the Kalevala), authors (e.g. Lucretius, Dostoevsky), genres (e.g. Chinese poetry, twentieth-century Italian prose) and national literatures (e.g. Hungarian, Afrikaans).
Poetry. Translated from Norwegian by Anthony Barnett. BEYOND THE MOMENT is a completely new, revised edition of the translation first published by Anthony Barnett in 1988 under the title SELECTED POEMS. Tarjei Vesaas was born in Norway, where he spent most of his life as one of the country's finest, most prolific, and best-loved twentieth-century authors. His poetry is explicit in its themes of isolation, anxiety, and responsibility, yet it is also suffused with a ruggedly benign landscape, as it explores the frailty of human affections and the warmth of heart and home.
