About this product
Product Information
This anthology demonstrates that verse translation from the Irish represents, in its own right, a significant part of the tradition of Irish poetry written in English. Rather than offering the usual view of verse translation as a means of preserving and providing access to poetry written in Irish, this anthology foregrounds the aesthetic and cultural value of verse translation as poetry. The anthology is historical in form, beginning with a translation done in 1635 and concluding with the work of contemporary poets. The translations are grouped by individual translators and arranged into five sections: Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries; Nineteenth Century; Irish Literary Revival; Modern Ireland; and Contemporary Ireland. Each translator is introduced with a headnote and each translation is fully annotated and accompanied by the original text in Irish and a literal translation of it into English.

Reviews
This impeccable scholarly collection of verse translations is both an affirmation of the value of turning from one language to another and a history of poetic sensibility of the last three hundred years. We have always privileged the original of any work, which we should, as the fount and being of inspiration. But this anthology makes an impressive case for the worth of translated poetry in its own right. Translations from the Irish invigorated English while championing the original language. Irish wrenched English from its comfortable moorings, while English taught Irish that prosody could be loosened up. More important than all of this, however, is that this anthology is immensely enjoyable, emphasizing that poetry is poetry in any language., eoeThis impeccable scholarly collection of verse translations is both an affirmation of the value of turning from one language to another and a history of poetic sensibility of the last three hundred years.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
