A propos de cet article

Title: Poems Author: Stefan George (1868–1933) Translators: Carol North Valhope and Ernst Morwitz Publisher: Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co. Ltd., London Publication Date: September 1944 Edition: Reprint of the January 1944 English edition Binding: Hardcover, original publisher's black cloth with gilt lettering to spine Condition: Good Dust Jacket: None Description: An early English-language edition of the poetry of Stefan George (1868–1933), the influential German symbolist poet and one of the most distinctive literary figures of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Rendered into English by Carol North Valhope and Ernst Morwitz, this edition was first published in England in January 1944 and reprinted in September of the same year. George was a leading figure in German literary modernism, celebrated for his highly disciplined verse, aesthetic philosophy and influence upon European intellectual and literary culture. His poetry explores beauty, symbolism, mythology, spirituality and the relationship between art and society. The volume presents George's original German poetry alongside English translations, making it of particular interest to readers of German literature, comparative literature and twentieth-century European poetry. Published during the Second World War, this edition represents an interesting example of German literary scholarship and translation appearing in Britain at a time of considerable political and cultural upheaval. Bound in the publisher's original black cloth, with gilt lettering to the spine identifying the author, title and publisher. Condition: Good. The original black cloth boards are intact but display noticeable age-related rubbing, scattered spotting, surface marks and some discolouration, particularly to the front board. The corners and spine extremities show moderate wear, including some fraying at the lower spine. The gilt spine lettering remains bright and clearly legible. Internally, the title and publication pages are clean and well preserved, with general age-related toning to the paper and occasional minor marks. No dust jacket is present. Overall, an acceptable and attractive reading and reference copy of this wartime edition. …
