About this title

Synopsis

Goethe’s Faust has been translated into English more often than any other book, including the Bible. Whenever possible, the author has ascertained the translator’s theory of translation. It is a contribution to a discussion of translation in general, as well as a critical survey of translations of Faust.

Originally published in 1949.
