Alfred de Musset, 1810-1857, was a French Romantic dramatist, novelist, and poet. Musset was a prolific writer, and Aaron J. Clarke takes a lovely selection of poetry to translate for his readers. Translating the prose of Alfred de Musset is an audacious task but Clarke is not shy to a literary challenge. Alfred de Musset coalesces dulcet tones with elegant prose and Clarke captures this tone and beauty in his translations. Clarke makes significant effort to ensure each word, each line, is translated with care. The page for page comparison allows for an accessible comparison of the French to English translation. Through his translations, Clarke offers his readers a chance to delve into the enchanting works of Musset.
