Translator's Prface
I n general, I have followed the
ame guidelines here as in my
translation of NotJ to Literature I. I have tried to efect a compromie
of relative integrity etween repreenting signiicant features of Adorno's
style, since his style relects his conception of language, and readability
fo r an American audience less steeped in the cultural traditions Adorno
was concerned with. Hence, as before, I have reained Adorno's para­
graphing and oten his inverted and complex entence structures. I have
tried to relect at least ome of his metaphors and unusual phrasings even
when they remain as ambiguous in English as they were in German, and
I have often ued the English cognate of the fo reign word Adorno ued
in German, in recognition of the central role of fo reign words in his
philosophy of language.
This volume difers from the irst in that its contents are less well
known in English, both in that fe w of thee essays have previously ap­
eared in translation and in that they deal, to a fa r greater extent than in
the irst volume, with works written in German, often works which are
untranslated or relatively little read in America. Nevertheless, thee es­
ays contain some of Adorno's most highly elaborated articulations of his
understanding of literary and etic lanuage, and I think they will
prove extremely valuable to English-speaking readers, even thoe who
know no German. Where Adorno quotes petry in the original German,
as in the esays on Holderlin, Borchardt, and George, I have given the
texts in German and accompanied them by relatively literal English
translations, using, as in the irst volume, published English translations
