Críticas:

Charlie Louths excellent book may have emerged from a dissertation, but there is little to betray its origins, except perhaps the depth, breadth and overall quality of the research. That is to say, it displays all of the virtues and hardly any of the faults of a PhD thesis. The writing is impressive, even inspired ... The argument is invariably persuasive, the judgment remarkably sure-footed throughout.'--Howard Gaskill "Modern Language Review, 96, 2001 " An inspiring study that is not only of interest to Holderlin experts or eighteenth-century scholars but to anyone with a scholarly interest in the interrelation between translation and poetry.--Heike Bartel "New Comparison, 30, 144-5 "" A closely argued critical assessment of translation... Louth s book is a good piece of work, incisive and perceptive.--Emery E. George "Journal of English & Germanic Philology, October, 2000, 612-14 "" For those interested in translation, let alone in Holderlin, these are arguments to read and re-read.--unsigned notice "Forum for Modern Language Studies, 37.1, 2001, 105 "" Holderlin demeure un auteur difficile; ne l aborde pas qui veut, quelle que soit la qualite de l exposition, servie ici par une typographie particulierement soignee.--Jacques Voisine "Revue de litterature comparee, 1, 2000, 110-11 "" This study through the perspective of translation is a must for every Holderlin scholar, carefully argued, well researched, and a pleasure to read.--Reinhilde Wiegmann "Monatshefte, 93.1, 2001, 121-2 "" The writing is impressive, even inspired... The argument is invariably persuasive, the judgement remarkably sure-footed throughout... supported by readings of often stunning quality.--Howard Gaskill "Modern Language Review, 96.3, 2001, 886-7 "

Reseña del editor:

Friedrich Holderlin's translations have long been seen as some of the most fascinating ever made, so radical and unconventional that they have altered our ideas of what translation is. Based on a close study of the versions of Pindar and Sophocles, and placing Holderlin's practice in its 18th-century context, this book explores the meaning of translation for Holderlin's work as a whole, devoting particular attention to the poetry. The author draws links between translations, individual poems, essays and Holderlin'a working techniques, and suggests that translation, both as figure and practice, is at the centre of Holderlin's imaginative world.
