Economies of Praise
Reevaluates early modern poems of praise as, paradoxically, challenging an artistic economy that values exchange and productivity
Sex Changes with Kleist
Sex Changes with Kleist shows that Heinrich von Kleist responded in a unique way to a change in the conception of sex and gender that occurred in the late eighteenth century.
The Complete Fables of Jean de la Fontaine
This edition of The Complete Fables of Jean de la Fontaine includes an English translation published alongside the French text. Norman Spector adapted the French text from the 1883–85 edition by Henri Régnier, adding four tales from the 1962 edition by Georges Couton. Spector’s translation is in rhymed verse, and remains faithful to the original not only in metrical patterns and rhyme schemes but also in tone: wit and le mot juste are skillfully and wonderfully combined. This translation gives the reader of English a chance to enjoy the grace, wit, and versatility of La Fontaine.
