- Synopsis
- The first-ever English translation of Rilke&’s landmark poetry cycle, by Vita and Edward Sackville-West – reissued for the first time in 90 yearsIn 1931, Virginia and Leonard Woolf&’s Hogarth Press published a small run of a beautiful edition of Rainer Maria Rilke&’s Duino Elegies, in English translation by the writers Vita and Edward Sackville-West. This marked the English debut of Rilke&’s masterpiece, which would eventually be rendered in English over 20 times, influencing countless poets, musicians and artists across the English-speaking world. Published for the first time in 90 years, the Sackville-Wests&’ translation is both a fascinating historical document and a magnificent blank-verse rendering of Rilke&’s poetry cycle. Featuring a new introduction from critic Lesley Chamberlain, this reissue casts one of European literature&’s great masterpieces in fresh light.
