With Robert Lowell and His Circle
Author: Kathleen Spivack
Publisher: UPNE
ISBN: 1555537650
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
In 1959 Kathleen Spivack won a fellowship to study at Boston University with Robert Lowell. Her fellow students were Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton, among others. Thus began a relationship with the famous poet and his circle that would last to the end of his life in 1977 and beyond. Spivack presents a lovingly rendered story of her time among some of the most esteemed artists of a generation. Part memoir, part loose collection of anecdotes, artistic considerations, and soulful yet clear-eyed reminiscences of a lost time and place, hers is an intimate portrait of the often suffering Lowell, the great and near great artists he attracted, his teaching methods, his private world, and the significant legacy he left to his students. Through the story of a youthful artist finding her poetic voice among literary giants, Spivack thoughtfully considers how poets work. She looks at friendships, addiction, despair, perseverance and survival, and how social changes altered lives and circumstances. This is a beautifully written portrait of friends who loved and lived words, and made great beauty together. A touching and deeply revealing look into the lives and thoughts of some of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, With Robert Lowell and His Circle will appeal to writers, students, and thoughtful literary readers, as well as to scholars.

Translators on Translation
Author: Kelly Washbourne
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 104022511X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
This is a book in pursuit of translators’ philosophies or personal theories of translation. From Vladimir Nabokov and William Carlos Williams to Ursula K. Le Guin and Langston Hughes, Translators on Translation coaxes each subject’s reflections on their art, their particular view of translation, and how they carry out their specific form of translation. The translators’ intellectual biographies expand our understanding of their views, often in their own words, on the aesthetic, political, and philosophical nature of translation; lend insight into their translation decision-making on specific works; afford critical summaries and contextualizations of their key theoretical and theoretico-practical works; unearth their figurative conceptualizations of translation; and construct their subject identities. As a person’s body of work can be diffuse, scattered, fragmentary, and contradictory, inner lives have to be constructed and reconstructed. Through a recovery and narrativizing of their writing and speaking on translation, their interviews, paratextual commentary, letters, lecture notes, and even fiction and poetry, these late twentieth-century subjects answer the question, What is translation to you? The book is supported by additional translators’ profiles and selected translations on the Routledge Translation Studies portal. Translators on Translation is key reading for courses on translation practice, translation history, translation theory, and creative writing courses that engage in translation while also being vital reading for practicing literary translators.
