Gottsched's translation not only helped to draw attention in Germany to one of Britain's most venerated writers. It also represented a significant effort to challenge the dominance of the French in cultural life in Germany and to offer new models for the establishment of a national literary canon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume makes Gottsched's translation available in a modern critical edition for the first time. It includes the rich paratextual material - translator's preface, footnotes and appendix - which accompanied the original edition and through which Gottsched sought to promote her cultural political agenda. The introduction outlines the circumstances which gave rise to this important text and discusses its influence on the development of mock-heroic poetry in Germany. The volume thus underlines the crucial role played by translation in shaping German culture during the Enlightenment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition includes the German text alongside the English original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 102\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 19, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50445989478637,"sku":"9780947623845","price":38.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-ca\/products\/der-lockenraub-the-rape-of-the-lock-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
