Description: Love in London contains a selection of the most representative poems written by the Austrian poet Theodor Kramer (1897-1958), while he was in exile in England from 1939 to 1957. This bilingual edition with verse translations is the result of an intensive, four-year collaboration between the Vienna-born, New York-based poet-translator Frederick (Fritz) Brainin (1913-1992), and the German-born, Nottingham-based Germanist Jorg Thunecke.

Kramer's poems reflect the changing moods of an exiled German-speaking writer in response to complex problems faced before, during, and after World War II. In addition, these translations offer excellent examples of the poetic diction of the late Brainin.
Notes: Introd. in English, poems in English and German.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 154-156).
