DESCRIPTION - Hungary can well be called a country of poets; its literature has always centered on poetry, unrivaled by the competition of drama or fiction. Living in linguistic isolation in the center of Europe, the people of Hungary were compelled to maintain the integrity of their language, to listen more carefully to the sound of their own voice. It has been the dream of Hungarian poets over the centuries to be read in adequate translation in a major language. MODERN HUNGARIAN POETRY is a book that fulfills that dream. This unique anthology consists of poems by forty-one contemporary Hungarian poets living and writing in the postwar years. It is to date the single most comprehensive collection of modern Hungarian poetry available in English. Working from rough translations, major American, British, and Canadian poets have put the poems into final poetic form. Among the poet-translators are Donald Davie, Robert Graves, Charles Tomlinson, Kenneth McRobbie, Daniel Hoffman, Ted Hughes, Edwin Morgan, Richard Wilbur, Barbara Howes, and William Jay Smith. Culled largely from the pages of The New Hungarian Quarterly, the poems represent the work of Hungary's most important modern poets, including Sandor Weöres, Gyula lllyEs, Istvn Vas, Anna Hajnal, János Pilinszky, Agnes Nemes Nagy, Laszlo Nagy, Zoltan Zelk, and Ferenc Juhasz. The poems reflect 1000 years of Hungary's often unjust and debilitating history, but this history is not specifically the subject of the poems. Rather, this collection reveals a variety of individual approaches, a poetic power and validity, and a richness of themes and styles that transcend the country's particular experience and express universal aspects of the human condition. MODERN HUNGARIAN POETRY contains an introduction by Miklos Vajda, a foreword by William Jay Smith of Columbia University, and a biographical note along with a photograph of each poet. This is the first volume in a projected series of translations to be published in arrangement with the Translation Center of Columbia University. inventory #7960 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket with a Small Tear at the Bottom Front Near the Spine.
