Uljana Wolf

Zusatztext

Against highly current debates on multilingual literary production, this original study of the acclaimed contemporary poet-translator Uljana Wolf considers how lyric verse is being creatively revitalised through experimental practices across languages, genres and media. Based in Berlin and New York, Wolf is concerned to explore and contest political and linguistic borders through poetry and translation as a poetic practice. Despite considerable critical acclaim, Wolfs writing has not yet formed the subject of any book-length study, likely due to its radical form and resistance to straightforward categorisations. This English-language volume will form the first published collection dedicated to Wolfs oeuvre and ensure that her work is made accessible to the increasing numbers of scholars and students working on multilingual literature. Original contributions by Wolf and her translators will consolidate the volumes status as a landmark intervention concerned to trace the aesthetics and politics of Wolfs linguistic and formal experiments. Responding to urgent questions driving comparative literature studies today, our contributors will focus on Wolfs multilingual works, her translational networks and radical textual politics.
