Each of the poets - Esaias Tegner, Johan Ludvig Runeberg, Viktor Rydberg, Gustaf Froding, and Erik Axel Karlfeldt - made a significant contribution to Swedish literature and was justly famous in his own time. Even today, every Swedish student knows the names of these poets. Nothing that much fine Swedish literature remains untranslated, Moffett makes the work of these five important poets available to readers of English. She points out that the death of material translated from Swedish to English is particularly notable in poetry, especially rhyming, metrical poetry. Earlier translators have dealt with the poets represented here, but the results have lacked literary merit. Only rarely, in fact, has their work in translation read like English poetry. In preserving the rhyme and meter of the original works. Moffett has chosen a controversial path, with powerful allies on her side. Those who believe the rhyme and rhythm must be carried out in the translation include the late Joseph Brodsky and Richard Wilbur, who says a formal poem stripped of its form has been \"watered down to free verse.\" Moffett introduces each poet's section with a biographical essay that sketches the poet's critical reputation as well as his historical milieu. She identifies obscure references and provides other useful information in the notes to the poems. Several of these poets were members of the Swedish Academy, Karlfeldt was posthumously awarded the Nobel Prize. Even long after his death, Runeberg is regarded as the National Poet of Finland. Froding in particular continues to be passionately admired by modern Swedes. Moffett, a formal poet translating formal poetry, makes this splendid body of work accessible to the larger audience it deserves.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51822097498385,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51822097629457,"sku":"NGR9780809323227","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780809323227.jpg?v=1757414352"},{"product_id":"ragged-world-book-judith-moffett-9781958880388","title":"The Ragged World","description":"HOLY GROUND TRILOGY, BOOK I\nThe alien Hefn were not especially interested in humanity when they came to Earth; they returned to recover their shipmates who had been left on Earth centuries before-beings who had passed into human legend as \"hobs\" and \"tomtar.\" Although all were affected by their arrival, few people actually encountered the Hefn. Those who did were changed. These are their stories.\nFor Carrie Sharpless, the Hefn intrude upon her life when a chance question on a midterm exam uncovers her student Terry's strange encounter. When Jenny Shepherd stumbles across a \"hob\" amid the moors of Yorkshire, the resulting interplay of legend with everyday existence reshapes her own life, while in \"Tiny Tango\" (\"a thunderstorm of a novella\" said the New York Review of Science Fiction), Nancy Sandford's AIDS-afflicted life is redeemed through the intervention of the aliens.\n¿Spun around human emotions, threaded through with a deep love for the Earth, The Ragged World weaves these stories into a beautiful depiction of humanity, a richly worded tapestry of this ragged world in which we live.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53573655494929,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53573655527697,"sku":"NIN9781958880388","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"time-like-an-ever-rolling-stream-book-judith-moffett-9781958880395","title":"Time, Like an Ever-Rolling Stream","description":"HOLY GROUND TRILOGY, BOOK II\nAfter the critical and popular success of The Ragged World, Judith Moffett returns to the future with this moving tale of the Hefn occupation of Earth and how it affects Earth's people--two youngsters in particular, Pam Pruitt and Liam O'Hara, math-prodigy students at the Hefn Humphrey's Bureau of Temporal Physics. \n \nOn vacation from the Bureau, Pam and Liam visit Hurt Hollow, a place on the Kentucky shore of the Ohio River once homesteaded by a landscape artist and his wife.  Orrin and Hannah Hubbell had lived there in harmony with the Earth, gardening and fishing, raising goats and bees, doing without modern conveniences-a lifestyle much approved of by the Hefn.  The tradition at the Hollow continues, and the teens are drawn into it.\n \nThe prospects of living peacefully seem distant for Pam and Liam, who must find peace both with the Hefn Directive and with themselves.  But shattering events that befall them en route to Kentucky, and at Hurt Hollow itself, mirror the ways in which their bond with their alien teacher will ultimately avert a global disaster and drastically alter the course of their own lives.\n \nTime, Like an Ever-Rolling Stream is a remarkable novel by a writer able to imagine all this and make us care about it.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53645189906705,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53645190430993,"sku":"NLS9781958880395","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781958880395.jpg?v=1781053165"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-judith-moffett.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
