Musarion and Other Rococo Tales
by Christoph Martin Wieland and Thomas C. Starnes
Published 1 August 1992
Musarion and Other Rococo Tales by Christoph Martin Wieland is a new translation of some of the most significant prose and verse works by one of the great literary precursors of Goethe. Thomas C. Starnes, one of the world's leading authorities on Wieland's life and works, has provided a marvellous marriage of accuracy and linguistic verve, and he shows that it is not an impossible task to translate German rococo literature into lively English.
