Ungdomsverk för första gången samlade i svensk översättning

»Att följa Brontës väg mot konstnärlig mognad är ytterst fascinerande.« Betyg: 4 av 5 - Inger Littberger Caisou-Rousseau, BTJ

Systrarna Charlotte, Emily och Anne Brontë började redan som barn pröva sina vingar som författare. De skapade fantasivärldar som de härskade över som andeväsen med makt över liv och död. Deras skrivande hade en avgörande betydelse för deras utveckling till författare. I Juvenilia samlas, för första gången på svenska, sex av Charlotte Brontës ungdomsverk - bland annat den nästan psykedeliska Sökandet efter lyckan, som hon skrev 1829 när hon var tretton år gammal, de febriga, frustrerade Dagboksfragmenten från Roe Head och den mer stilrena långnovellen Henry Hastings, skriven vid tjugotre års ålder 1839. De visar hur Charlotte steg för steg utvecklar sitt språk, sin stil och sitt författarskap till något som 1847 utmynnar i det första mästerverket, Jane Eyre. I översättning samt med förord och kommenterande texter av Anna-Karin Malmström Ehrling och Per Ove Ehrling.

CHARLOTTE BRONTË [1816-1855] var en engelsk romanförfattare och poet, den äldsta av de berömda systrarna Brontë. Till hennes verk hör Jane Eyre [1847], Shirley [1849], Villette [1853] och Professorn [1957]. Samtliga ingår i Modernistas utgivning av Charlotte Brontë, de tre sistnämnda i svenska nyöversättningar.

Jane Austen's remarkable juvenilia date from 1787, when she was eleven, to 1793, when she was seventeen. She preserved these early writings in three manuscript notebooks, entitled, with mock solemnity, 'Volume the First', 'Volume the Second', and 'Volume the Third'. Most of these works are short fictions, but Austen also wrote the opening of what could have become a full-length novel, 'Catharine', as well as dramatic sketches, verses, and a few non-fictional pieces. Astonishingly sophisticated and inventive, these writings are now receiving the scholarly attention they deserve. This edition provides a fresh transcription of Austen's manuscripts, with comprehensive explanatory notes, an extensive critical introduction, covering the context and publication history of the juvenilia, a chronology of Austen's life and an authoritative textual apparatus. It also prints, for the first time, the copious satirical marginalia that Austen wrote on her copies of Oliver Goldsmith's History of England.

Ken Chen is the 2009 winner of the annual Yale Younger Poets competition. These poems of maturation chronicle the poet’s relationship with his immigrant family and his unknowing attempt to recapture the unity of youth through comically doomed love affairs that evaporate before they start. Hungrily eclectic, the wry and emotionally piercing poems in this collection steal the forms of the shooting script, blues song, novel, memoir, essay, logical disputation, aphorism—even classical Chinese poetry in translation. But as contest judge Louise Glück notes in her foreword, “The miracle of this book is the degree to which Ken Chen manages to be both exhilaratingly modern (anti-catharsis, anti-epiphany) while at the same time never losing his attachment to voice, and the implicit claims of voice: these are poems of intense feeling. . . . Like only the best poets, Ken Chen makes with his voice a new category.”

You know the terror that for poets lurks Beyond the ferry when to Minos brought. Poets must utter their Collected Works, Including Juvenilia...--from "Letter to Lord Byron" (1936) Regardless of how poets feel about their youthful attempts at verse, their early poems not only enrich our understanding of their artistic growth, but also reveal much about the nature of literary genius. No other twentieth-century poet has left behind such a wealth of early poetry as did W. H. Auden. By bringing together for the first time all the poems written by Auden between the ages of fifteen and twenty-one (1922-1928), this book allows us a rare, detailed look at the literary personality, development, and preoccupations of a major poet. Auden's readers will be fascinated to find in these poems the earliest evidence of his interest in psychoanalysis, his conflicted attitude toward his homosexuality, his self-conscious approach to poetry, and his life-long journey toward a religious sense of the world. This collection includes over two hundred poems, most of them never published before, concluding with the contents of Auden's privately printed volume, Poems (1928).The poems are generously annotated with information on Auden's education, reading, literary concerns, and personal life. In her introduction, Katherine Bucknell traces important themes relating to the poet's entire career, and describes crucial but hitherto unknown aspects of his youth during his years at Gresham's School and at Christ Church, Oxford. Throughout this work we see in Auden an admirable instinct for experiment, a thorough testing of tradition, and a gathering mastery of technique and thematic argument.

The 100-page collection of travel writing is non-fiction and unuique. There are first-hand narratives of hitchhiking alone through East Africa, of voyages with untested crews across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, of storms, knife and shark attacks, robberies and wrecks. Aside from travel writing, they are fiction. - Juvenilia is by definition a retrospective of someone's early work, to discern not so much quality as direction. This writing is not meant to impress, but it is hoped that teens today might empathize with some of the anger, the questioning of authority, and the rebelliousness - imaginary, idealized - herein. Umbrae Papilionis means shadows of the butterflies I hoped later to write. I was a 17-year-old junior at St. George's School in Newport, RI. I was not good in spring sports and took advantage of the school's little-known policy of producing a special project instead Z. (for Zarathustra) was overseen on my senior year by Mrs. Janet Buell. The title derives from my study of and flirtation with Persian and non-Judeo-Christian religions, and a featured essay. Shorts is by far the loudest scream this author has put to paper. My freshman year at 15,000-student Boston College was highly tumultuous and wrenchingly free. Shorts reflects my Beatnik bent. The collections features numerous maps, many of them penned during the author's teen years.
