About the Author
NP Van Wyk Louw (1906-1970) towered over the Afrikaans literary scene as poet and essayist. He was one of the first, perhaps the most prominent, of the so-called dertigers (“writers of the thirties”), innovative poets who broke new ground, sending Afrikaans poetry in new directions. Louw led the way in rejecting a restrictive, colonial-style literature, concentrating rather on intellectual and self-analytical poetry, rich in symbolism and imagery. He was in 1960 awarded the most prestigious Afrikaans literary prize, the Herzog Prize, for his verse drama Germanicus.
About the Translator
Jo-Marie Claassen holds a D.Litt. from Stellenbosch University, South Africa, for her work on the exiled Roman poet Ovid. She retired from the Department of Ancient Studies at that university in 2001. She has published two books on Ovid and a large number of academic articles on a wide range of topics from the ancient world. Her bilingual home background and interest in languages enabled her to rise to the challenge of translating an idiosyncratic Afrikaans classic into modern English. Her previous attempts at translation have been limited to short pieces for the local parish magazine that she edits. Since her retirement she has also become involved in various charities. Her husband, Piet, is a retired urban planner and academic. They have a daughter and son and two grandsons.
