Synopsis

Kossovo: Heroic Songs of the Serbs is a collection of epic poems from Serbia, translated from the original language in 1920 by Helen Rootham. The book includes a touching Introduction written by the English poet and translator Maurice Baring. Each poem is written in its original Serbian, juxtaposed with the English translation on the opposite page. It will prove to be a useful guide for any student of ancient literature or the Serbian language. HELEN ROOTHAM, born 1875, was an aspiring British poet who translated the works of French poet Arthur Rimbaud in addition to epic Serbian poems. In 1903 she was commissioned as the governess of British poet Edith Sitwell, a position she retained until her death in 1938.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
