New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 1998, later printing number line, 387pp., . These critically hailed translations of The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, The Three Sisters and the other Chekhov plays are the only ones in English by a Russian-language scholar who is also a veteran Chekhovian actor. Without compromising the spirit of the text, Paul Schmidt accurately translates Chekhov's entire theatrical canon, rescuing the humor "lost" in most academic translations while respecting the historical context and original social climate. Schmidt's translations of Chekhov have been successfully staged all over the U.S. by such theatrical directors as Lee Strasberg, Elizabeth Swados, Peter Sellars and Robert Wilson. Critics have hailed these translations as making Chekhov fully accessible to American audiences.

Laforgue, Jules, 1860-1887. Berlin, the city and the court. Translated and with an introduction by William Jay Smith ; photographs by Simone Sassen. New York: Turtle Point Press, 1996, ix, 220pp., small PAPERBACK, cover price $13.95, very good. "Jules Laforgue's Berlin is a delectable book, and William J. Smith's translation conveys all its lucid irony and sparkling detail." (Richard Wilbur). - Jules Laforgue, who has been called the "French Keats" and whose work greatly influenced T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound and James Joyce, went to Berlin in 1881 as French reader to the Empress Augusta, a descendent of Catherine the Great. Written shortly before his death from tuberculosis at age 27, Berlin, la cour et la ville was not published until 1922 and is still little known in France. This first complete English translation of an important lost work is a brilliant example of what Jacques Barzun has called the poet's "visual reportage". It presents a precise picture of what everyday life was like in Berlin in the 1880's. Like his friend Seurat, Laforgue shows us what people did, what they wore, what they ate, what they saw and heard. He paints memorable portraits of the leading court personalities and pays special attention to the Prussian military, the power of which permeated every aspect of life. - William Jay Smith, the translator, was Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress 1968-1970 (a post now called Poet Laureate). In 1991 he was awarded a medal by the French Academy for his translations of French poetry. 9781885983022 ISBN 1885983026.…

Clark, Thekla, 1860-1935. Wystan and Chester: a personal memoir of W.H. Auden and Chester Kallman. Introduction by James Fenton. New York: Columbia University Press, 1996, xii, 130pp., PAPERBACK, very good, appears unused, spine slightly faded by light. The first nuanced, personal portrait of Auden and Kallman's relationship of more than thirty years, Wystan and Chester opens a window on a central aspect of Auden's life that has been overlooked by most biographies and critical studies. In a series of witty, poignant, and occasionally disturbing vignettes, Clark recounts the artists at work and at play: the raucous, Bacchanalian dinner parties on Ischia and the quiet mornings of writing on the porch of their house in Kirchstetten, Austria. She chronicles the early years of their friendship, when Auden and Kallman became her young daughter Lisa's constant companions, and when their nurturing partnership helped to foster unparalleled creative output for both. Remembering also Kallman's steady decline in his later years, Clark paints a sympathetic picture of the talented and troubled artist and of Auden's abiding love for him. Clark's story is generously sprinkled with glimpses of Auden's eccentricities. She recollects his fascination with female anatomy and with the process of birth; his unusual mix of moral seriousness and intellectual frivolity; his love for church ritual and his conviction that homosexuality was wrong.
