The book provides a sentence-by-sentence translation of Die Judenbuche
(1842) by Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, arguably one of Germany's
greatest female poets. Often thought of as a detective novel, The Jews'
Beech Tree is as much a mystery to read today as it was in 1842.
Featuring the original German and the translated English side-by-side,
this text also includes three critical introductions and two additional
poetry translations.
