Journal Article
Salomon Gessner and Collins’s Oriental Eclogues
2009
Overview
This essay contributes to the study of the reception of William Collins’s poems on the continent in the 18th century and introduces a little known German translation of Collins’s
Oriental Eclogues
by the Swiss poet, bookseller and engraver, Salomon Gessner. While focusing on the ways in which Gessner renders Collins’s eclogues into German, I shall contextualise the translation in terms of Gessner’s own theory of the idyll. It is through this reading of Collins as a writer of idylls, rather than as the author of the odes for which he was celebrated by the Romantics, that Gessner popularised the poet in Germany and Switzerland.
