Raids And Settlements Seamus Heaney As Translator

by Marco Zanetti Marcella Sonzogni

"Seamus Heaney (19392013) was one of the most loved, read, studied and translated writers of our time. In 1995 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles and the living past. In 1999 his version of the Old English poem Beowulf received the Whitbread Book Award for Best Book of Poems and Best Book of the Year ... This collection of essays is the first comprehensive discussion of Heaney as translator. The authors have approached their contribution from different perspectives but are united by their fascination or preoccupation with the works of one of the greatest poets and poet-translators in the English language. This interdisciplinary combination of individual expertise and shared interest was essential to offer a holistic appreciation of Heaneýs translations from fifteen languages, literatures and cultures"--Publishers website.
