This book examines Montale's (uncommissioned) translations from English during a period in which translation was widely seen as a way (often in covert protest against fascism) to break out of a narrow and ossified literary tradition. Montale's own work is seen as an appropriation of a foreign (Anglo-American) tradition in the interests of exploring new poetic possibilities in Italian.Talbot, George is the author of 'Montale's Mestiere Vile The Elective Translations from English of the 1930s and 1940s' with ISBN 9780716525264 and ISBN 0716525267.
