Anthology of Georgian Poetry in French
Kathrine Vivian, an English Kartvelologist, translator of The Man in the Panther Skin and a long term friend of the journal Kartvelologist, published the following article in 1982 in the Revue des Etudes Georgiennes et auasiennes (N 1). I found the manuscript of the Georgian translation of the article (made by Rusudan Tsuladze), and edited by the late scholar Akaki Khintibidze, in the files of materials now being prepared to be sent to the Archive. Obviously, the translation was not published at that time. Akaki Khintibidze, a famous researcher of Georgian versification systems, was ultimately interested in this article due to Kathrine Vivian's remarks regarding the peculiarities of Georgian versification and its relationships with the French and English versification systems. As well as these valuable remarks this article is extremely important regarding the references by Kathrine Vivian to hidden depths and nuances typical of Georgian poetry as well as those regarding the delimitation of the deep originality of verses by Akaki Tsereteli, Vaja Pshavela, Galaktion Tabidze, Giorgi Leonidze, Irakli Abashidze and Valirian Gaprindashvili. I believe it is highly advisable to attract the attention of both Georgian and English speaking researchers to these remarks, valuable for the theory of literary studies, made by an English intellectual, translator and Kartveleologist.
