hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. Cape Town. 1963. Oxford University Press. 2nd Impression. Very Good in Dustjacket. . 315 pages. hardcover. . keywords: Afrikaans Poetry South Africa. FROM THE PUBLISHER - 'Languages are the pedigrees of nations,' said Dr. Samuel Johnson. And it is through poetry that a language achieves its finest expression. Afrikaans is a young language - it has been called the most modern of modern languages - and its poetic tradition begins with this century. English is one of the oldest of modern languages with a poetic tradition stretching back more than a thousand years. The main purpose of AFRIKAANS POEMS WITH ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS is to introduce the old to the young, to enable English-speaking readers to understand something of the Afrikaans poetic tradition. It is hoped, however, that Afrikaans readers, too, will find pleasure and possibly new meaning in the poems they love. In their selection the editors have given due weight to the historical development of the Afrikaans language, because the poets have played, and are playing, a major part in that development. This anthology was compiled by A. P. GrovE, Professor of Afrikaans Literature at the University of Pretoria, and C. J. D. Harvey, Professor of English at the University of Stellenbosch. inventory #8890.
