Bayard Taylor'S Translation of Goethe'S Faust

Mehr zum Buch

Analyzes Bayard Taylor's use of a rigid theory of translation in translating Goethe's Faust. It explores whether or not the translation is poetry, if it does the work of poetry compared to the traditions of English verse, and how much of Goethe's poetry had to be sacrificed in adhering to Taylor's theory.
