Poland’s Angry Romantic: Two Poems And a Play by Juliusz Slowacki by Juliusz Slowacki edited and translated by Peter Cochran, Bill Johnston, Miroslawa Modrzewska, and Catherine O’Neil Cambridge Scholars Publishing, November 2009
Juliusz Slowacki (1809-1849) is one of Poland's most
important writers, but his poetry and plays are little known in the West. This
book provides an introduction to him. It contains his popular play Balladina, his meditative poem Agamemnon's Tomb, and his hilarious
mock-epic Beniowski, in the style of
Byron's Don Juan. This volume brings together new
translations by celebrated translator Bill Johnston (2007 Found in Translation
Award winner), Miroslawa Modrzewska, and Catherine O’Neil.
