Excerpt from A Bibliography of German Literature in English Translation The quality of form is much less tangible, but for that very reason is not seldom caught unconsciously. It includes not only metre, of course, but all those imponderable elements of word-choice and arrangement that we conveniently call style. Style can be ponderous without being heavy, light without being insipid, fluent without being verbose, archaic without being crabbed. It is the translator's highest function to apprehend such qualities in his original and pass them on to the reader of his translation.

Excerpt from The German Classics of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries: Masterpieces of German Literature Translated Into English French influences, almost as early as Hebrew or German, were among the formative forces brought to bear upon the quick-witted but not precocious boy. Heine's parents were orthodox, but by no means bigoted Jews. We read with amazement that one of the plans of the mother, ambitious for her firstborn, was to make of him a Roman Catholic priest. The boy's father, Samson Heine, was a' rather nu successful member of a family which in other representa tives - particularly Samson's brother Salomon in Hamburg - attained to wealth and prominence in the world of finance.

Excerpt from The Translations of Beowulf: A Critical Bibliography In speaking of the translations which we may call literary, I have naturally paid most attention to the English versions, and this for several reasons. In the first place, Beowulf is an Englzlr/z poem; secondly, the number, variety, and im portance of the English translations warrant this emphasis; thirdly, the present writer is unable to discuss in detail the literary and metrical value of translations in foreign tongues. The account given of German, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, French, and Italian versions is, therefore, of a more strictly bibliographical nature but, whenever possible, some notion has been given of the general critical Opinion with regard to them. An asterisk is placed before the titles of books which the present writer has not seen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This bibliography was commissioned by the English Goethe Society as a contribution to the celebration in 1999 of the 250th anniversary of Goethes birth. It sets out to record translations of his works into English that have been published in the twentieth century, up to and including material published in that anniversary year. It aims to serve as wide a constituency as possible, be it as a simple reference tool for tracing a translation of a given work or as a documentary source for specialized studies of Goethe reception in the English-speaking world. The work records publications during the century, not merely translations that originated during this period. It includes numerous reprintings of older material, as well as some belated first publications of translations from the nineteenth century. It shows how frequent and how long enduring was the recourse of publishers and anthologists to a Goethe Victorian in diction, a signal factor in perceptions and misperceptions. Derek Glass was putting the finishing touches to the bibliography at the time of his sudden death in March 2004. Colleagues at Kings College London have edited the final manuscript, which is now published jointly by the English Goethe Society and the Modern Humanities Research Association both as a worthy commemoration of Goethes anniversary and as a tribute to Derek himself.
