The European caravan : A Critical Anthology of the New Spirit in European Literature 

Dublin Core

Title

The European caravan : A Critical Anthology of the New Spirit in European Literature 

Subject

Beckett, Samuel, 1906-1989. Translations.

Description

Anthology compiled and edited by Samuel Putnam 

This was the sole volume published of a far more extensive project designed to bring a cross section of cutting edge world literature to the American public. The venture was never fully realized but its legacy has rested on Beckett's first appearance in a US publication: four poems, all of which draw on Beckett's reading of Dante. An editorial note states, "S. B. Beckett is the most interesting of the younger Irish writers."

Relation

1929-1940 exhibit case

To Samuel Putnam, 14 May 1930: "This was nearly finished when your pneu came, so I went on with it. It is far and away the best of a bad lot. There are some good things in the Favola Gattesca - do you remember it? It is roughly four times as long as Paesaggio. Do you wish me to translate it - or would you prefer something shorter in the way of a pendant to this rather watery pastoral humility: Crepuscolo Mitologico, for example. I will not start anything until I hear from you."*

*The European Caravan has been planned as a two-volume anthology; an Italian section was to appear in the second volume, but this was not published.
