Daniel Weissbort

Considered by many to be the greatest Russian poet of his generation, Joseph Brodsky (1940â__1996) received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1987. Daniel Weissbort, closely associated with Brodsky as friend and translator, has produced a fascinating biographical (and autobiographical) study, giving particular attention to the problems of "Englishing" Brodsky's poems and Brodsky's relations with English. It is a telling contribution to translation studies and a searching meditation on the nature of language itself.
