Comparison of Bodmer's Translation
Of Milton's Paradise Lost with the Original (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from Comparison of Bodmer's Translation: Of Milton's Paradise Lost With the Original I have endeavored to bring together in an introduction all the facts bearing upon Bodmer's first acquaintance with the English language and English literature and to arrange them in a logical order so as to form a consecutive and com plete narrative of this event, so important for German liter ature. Certain phases of the subject have been worked up by Gustav Jenny in a thesis on Milton's poem in the German literature of the eighteenth century, and by Hans Bodmer in an essay on the beginnings of the Ziirich Milton, to both of whom I am indebted for most of my maten'al especially certain important, unpublished, letters in a private library in Trogen, and in the city-library of Zurich, as well as for quotations from works that were inaccessible to me. Other writers whose works in particular have helped me are Bach told, Morikofer, Vetter. Braitmaier, and Edmond Scherer. I would direct special attention to the appreciative and sym pathetic work done by Hans and Hermann Bodmer in con junction with Theodore Vetter and others in commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Johann Jacob Bodmer. A complete bibliography is given at the close of the introduction.1)
