Stphane Mallarm (184298) claimed to have learned English in order to read Poe, an American poet greatly admired by the French Symbolists. This volume reproduces at full size the first-edition bilingual publication of Le Corbeau / The Raven (Richard Lesclide, Paris, 1875), Mallarms prose translation of Poes melancholy poem, including six commissioned illustrations by douard Manetfour that visually interpret specific stanzas of the poem, one that serves as the ex-libris and a cover image of a ravens head that functions as the poems title. In addition, a new retranslation back into English of Mallarms text, which was both praised and criticized for its literalism, reveals the particular tenor and subtleties of his reading of Poes verse and his feel, as a fellow poet, for the emotive and evocative power of language. The result is a circular exploration of the poem and its translation. The volume also reflects Mallarms specifications for layout, typeface and paper. This is the second in a series exploring Mallarm in translation. The first, A Blow of Dice Never Will Abolish Chance, appeared in 2018; forthcoming is a translation of the second published collaboration between Mallarm and Manet, Afternoon of a Faun (Laprs-midi dun faune).
