Underlying Rhythm
On Translation, Communication, and Literary Languages. Essays in Honor of Burton Pike
Langbeschreibung
This volume explores the importance of scholarly and literary communities, the challenges of translation and difference, and the search for the ineffable in art. It is a collection of interviews, translations, scholarly essays, and tributes in honor of Burton Pike (1930-2022), a renowned translator of Robert Musil, Rilke, Goethe, Gerhard Meier, and others, as well as a scholar of literary Modernism and the image of the city. He was also an extraordinary teacher, mentor, and inspiration to a generation. The pieces are mostly written by former students, colleagues, and admiring friends, but the book also includes two interviews with Pike, along with Pikes own previously unpublished lecture on Thomas Manns last novel, Confessions of Felix Krull, Confidence Man.
