Description: Critics have called Else Lasker-Schüler the greatest of all German women poets and one of the finest Jewish poets. This large and representative selection of translations by Robert P. Newton, supplemented by a biographical and critical introduction and a selected bibliography, was the first substantial presentation of her works in English at its original publication in 1982.
Review Quotes: "With Robert W. Newton's collection of poems by Else Lasker-Schí1/4ler in translation, there is now available to the English reading audience a representative selection of this unique poet who is usually classified as a precursor of German expressionism and yet defies all classification."--German Studies Review
