Project Description
CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts
Sampling Declaration
The present text contains an English translation of pp 2997 of the German volume, the first English (complete) translation, published exclusively on CELT. The translation started as an experiment, based on the commercial translation software available at www.deepl.com, to assess its suitability for a literary text. It was afterwards copy-edited, compared with the extracts provided by Eoin Bourke, and rechecked. The translation aims to be as literal as possible, taking into account that the original was written in 1832.
