Beschreibung:
ERIC SELLIN is Professor Emeritus of French at Tulane University. Previously, he taught French and Comparative Literature for twenty-eight years at Temple University. Sellin has also taught at Clark University and at the Universities of Pennsylvania, Bordeaux, Algiers, and Dakar. Sellin has authored several books and essays on a wide variety of topics, including comparative literature, art, and aesthetics. He has also published a dozen books and chapbooks of poetry in English and French.
Sellin invites readers to explore the daunting and often unsung work of literary translators. With wry humor and an engaging conversational style, Sellin shares his insight on the art and science of translation, including the many nuanced solutions he's developed for some of the more sensitive problems that frustrate translators of formal poetry. The essays offer a balance of commentary on structural challenges as well as linguistic and aesthetic issues, giving readers practical and theoretical advice gained from a long career as a professor, poet, editor, and translator.
