Publisher Synopsis
This volume's greatest contribution ... is in its well-informed call to translate, and make visible, a significant corpus of Holocaust-related poetry still unavailable in English. * Translation and Literature * Professor Boase-Beier's deeply reflective and many-layered book about the poetics of Holocaust poetry requires more than one attentive reading. It is a brilliant and meticulous analysis about the process of reading poetry - through its variously translated forms - intelligently, with due empathy and proper cognitive regard... Her work emphasises the need for empathy and memory as she highlights the symbiotic and living relationship between the original author, the various translator(s) and active readers. This book is to be valued and returned to, again and again. -- Raficq Abdulla, poet and translator A stimulating and extremely determined attempt to get to grips with the relationship between text and context and the centrality of that relationship to our construction of meaning in general and to the practice of translation in particular. Whether Boase-Beier is using these reflections as an aid for the translator, or using the translation problem to get closer to the texts and our experience of them is largely irrelevant. -- Tim Parks, Professor in Literature and Translation at IULM University, Italy Read more...
