4.0 out of 5 stars Little-known, valuable work, September 26, 2009

This review is from: Encyclopedia of Literary Translation into English (Hardcover)
Without having read through this unfortunately very expensive 2-vol work, I would judge -- based on samplings -- that it provides invaluable information. To give one example, the article dealing with translations of Goethe's works into English would be extremely useful to a teacher of comparative literature who is not familiar with the various translations of Goethe, in particular of his Faust, a work which, as Luke (a translator) points out, must preserve the end rhyme where it is present in the original. This book should be in every scholarly library.
