Jane Draycott's translation of Pearl reissued as a Carcanet
Classic. A Poetry Book Society Recommended Translation. In a dream
landscape radiant with jewels, a father sees his lost daughter on
the far bank of a river: `my pearl, my girl’. One of the great
treasures of the British Library, the fourteenth-century poem Pearl
is a work of poetic brilliance; its account of loss and consolation
has retained its force across six centuries. Jane Draycott in her
new translation remakes the imaginative intensity of the original.
This is, Bernard O’Donoghue says in his introduction, `an event
of great significance and excitement’, an encounter between
medieval tradition and an acclaimed modern poet.
