Evening on the Hudson
An Anthology of Jan Lechon's American Writings
Selected, Introduced, and Annotated by: Beata Dorosz
Translations by Various Hands
Published to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the passing of one of the greatest Polish poets of the modern era, Evening on the Hudson constitutes the most comprehensive anthology of Jan Lechoń's work in English. A generous sampling of his American verse is provided in facing-page format, with the original Polish versions accompanied by English verse translations, many of them printed here for the first time. These are followed by selections from his New York journal, and the full text of the essay "American Transformations," both of which startle the contemporary reader with their continuing resonance in the America of the twenty-first century. Jan Lechoń was one of the most distinguished members of the Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences of America. He regularly published articles in the Institute's Bulletin (the precursor of The Polish Review). Many of these articles, on both literary and political themes, are brought together to round out the present volume. Judiciously edited, introduced and annotated by Beata Dorosz of the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences (Instytut Badań Literackich), Jan Lechoń's Evening on the Hudson is an important addition to Polish literary studies in English. |
