Luise Gottsched was one of the most prominent translators in eighteenth-century Germany, bringing her countrymen into contact with the work of many key writers, thinkers and scientists in the European republic of letters. Der Lockenraub (1744) was the first German verse translation of Alexander Pope's Rape of the Lock (1714), and an impressive achievement at a time when English was still an exotic language in Germany and England largely a terra incognita. The introduction will outline the circumstances which gave rise to this important text and discuss its influence on the development of mock-epic poetry in Germany. The volume will thus underline the crucial role played by translation in shaping German culture during the Enlightenment.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Luise Gottsched was one of the most prominent translators in eighteenth-century Germany, bringing her fellow Germans into contact with many key writers, thinkers and scientists in the European republic of letters. Der Lockenraub (1744) was the first German verse translation of Alexander Pope's Rape of the Lock (1714) and an impressive achievement at a time when English was still an exotic language in Germany and England largely a terra incognita. Gottsched's translation not only helped to draw attention in Germany to one of Britain's most venerated writers. It also represented a significant effort to challenge the dominance of the French in cultural life in Germany and to offer new models for the establishment of a national literary canon.This volume makes Gottsched's translation available in a modern critical edition for the first time. It includes the rich paratextual material - translator's preface, footnotes and appendix - which accompanied the original edition and through which Gottsched sought to promote her cultural political agenda. The introduction outlines the circumstances which gave rise to this important text and discusses its influence on the development of mock-heroic poetry in Germany. The volume thus underlines the crucial role played by translation in shaping German culture during the Enlightenment.This edition includes the German text alongside the English original.
