| Pulitzer Prize winning poet, translator, and environmental activist W. S. Merwin is the focus of this exhibition in the University of Illinois Library's Rare Book & Manuscript Library. Mounted in conjunction with the Program in Medieval Studies conference, "Translating the Middle Ages" (click on the title link above), the exhibition explores Merwin's translations of works by the medieval Italian poet Dante Alighieri, particularly the "Purgatorio." Merwin's literary archive--one of the University's preeminent collections--supplies a wealth of books, manuscripts, and ephemera for an intimate look at the creative process of literary translation. |
