The
articles collected here should explain why certain translations take
the form they do, and perhaps help bridge the gap between the small
press article and the scholarly research paper. The articles under
'Reassessing Modernism' are not nuanced literary criticism, but
plainly-written analyses of representative poets, poems and articles,
looked at from wider perspectives. The emphasis is on the practical:
what works, what doesn't, and what poets can learn from their
predecessors.
