Title	E Bindstouw udkom i Randers i 1842.
Text Submitted by falgonÃ	Source language: Danish E Bindstouw udkom i Randers i 1842. Den 23. juli averteredes den til salg i Randers Avis. En uges tid forinden havde dog Blichers medtaler ved Himmelbjergfesterne, litteraten Fr. Sneedorff Birch givet en smuk anmeldelse af bogen i Ny Jyllandspost (15. juli). Men iÃ¸vrigt forblev vÃ¦rket uomtalt. En litterÃ¦r begivenhed uden for de selvoptagne kÃ¸benhavnske cirkler var utÃ¦nkelig â€• ogsÃ¥ dengang.

Title

E Bindstouw was published in Randers in 1842

Translation

English

Translated by

Zwenni

Target language: English

E Bindstouw was published in Randers in 1842. The sale was advertised in the newspaper Randers Avis on July 23rd. One week earlier, on July 15th, the literary critic Fr. Sneedorff Birch, Blichers co-speaker at the Himmelbjergsfestival, had published a nice review of the book in the newspaper Ny Jyllandspost. But otherwise, the book was not discussed. A literary event outside the self-centered Copenhagen circle was unthinkable - even back then.

	Lein Number of messages: 3389	Hi Zwenni Looks like a good translation to me But as my Danish is not great, I have set a poll to get other people's opinions too. One question: would 'literary critic' not be better than 'litterateur' here? I know the word exists, but nobody ever seems to use 'litterateur' in English. Let me know and I can change it in your translation

	pias Number of messages: 8113	Never meant to sound picky... But since a poll was set, I guess tiny typos & small differences from the original shall be "reported" too.

	Lein Number of messages: 3389	Plus, as falgonÃ says, we're just enjoying the discussion Pia, how about 'The sale was advertised'? Do we need the word 'sale' at all here or is it implied in 'it was advertised'? CC: pias

	pias Number of messages: 8113	Lein, I like your suggestion, but if you think it's unnecessary to include the word, I trust you. You are an English expert, I'm not!! PS. I enjoy the discussion too... even if it doesn't seem so
