Reviews
“Henry Majewski’s translation of Daphné finally allows the English-speaking reader to discover what may be the most ambitious work of one of the giants of nineteenth-century French literature, a work that reflects both an exceptional mastery of the art of writing and a remarkable depth of thought.” – Prof. Pascal Ifri, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri
“[The author’s] seamless translation . . .brings to the fore the Romantic poet’s elegant style and plunges the reader into a Socratic dialogue between the intriguing figure of Emperor Julian the apostate and the philosopher Lianius.” – Prof. Eduardo Febles, Simmons College
“. . . restore[s] a much neglected text to the canon of French Romantic Literature.” – Prof. Theodore P. Fraser, Holy Cross College
