Strange Cocktail: Poetics and Practices of Translation in Twentieth-Century Modern Hebrew Poetry
This is a distinguished doctoral dissertation. Finely written, clearly organized, and supported both by numerous close readings and an extensive knowledge of modern Hebrew literary history, "Strange Cocktail" focuses on a fascinating critical subject: the relations between practices of translation and poetic invention in modern Hebrew and Israeli literature, through consideration of the work of four prominent poets, Esther Raab, Leah Goldberg, Avot Yeshurun and Harold Schimmel.
