Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

?Edith Sodergran: Modernist Poet in Finland is a very sober and chaste piece of scholarly work, which preserves a temperate distance from the object at which it is intensely directed. It is a work based on a very thorough knowledge and a very keen understanding not only of Edith Sodergran and her poetry, but also of the unique Finland-Swedish and Russian-German blend of cultural environment from which Edith Sodergran's poetry must have received its incentive. ... Schoolfield runs through Edith Sodergran's poetry, giving a vast number of her poems minute, sensitive, and sensible attention. Not only are his comments admirably distinct, but they are also of a kind that opens a poetic universe to us. From that point of view Schoolfield's book on Edith Sodergran ... is superior to any single book that has up to now been written about her.?-Scandinavian Studies
