Scholars can be grateful to Bridgham for his efforts in placing these works before a broader public.’ — Carole J. Lambert, Translation and Literature 27, 2019, 100-07 (full text online)

‘Lamport produces a convincing translation of both texts which recognizes their common themes, and diligently reflects how their textures help form their meanings. This is not surprising, but it is still highly commendable.’ — Alex Mortimore, Translation and Literature 27, 2019, 107-15 (full text online)

‘A major accomplishment. Raabe’s is a voice which deserves to be heard, and an oeuvre which deserves to be appreciated across linguistic boundaries. These translations allow the reader with no knowledge of German and little appreciation of the context of the originals to hear an authentic version of that voice, to understand something of the world it can open up, and so to appreciate the writer’s achievement. They merit an enthusiastic response.’ — William Webster, Translation and Literature 24, 2015, 121
