Longman Anthology of World Literature, The

Description

• Perspectives sections. Clusters of works on literary and cultural issues, often associated with one or more major works. For Volume F, examples include Modernist Memory, Echoes of War, and Indigenous Cultures in the Twentieth Century.
• Resonances provide responses or analogues to a work. For example, we include The Proclamation of the Irish Republic with Yeats’ “Easter 1916.”
• Translations sections show a wide variety of knotty translational problems and creative solutions. Each poem is given in the original and is then accompanied by two or three translations, chosen to show differing strategies translators have used to convey the sense of the original in new and powerful ways.  Our media supplements contain audio links to a reading of the poem in their original language, so you can hear its verbal music as well as see it on the page.  Volume F includes translation features for Franz Kafka and Fernando Pessoa.
