His eight plays, of which The Barometer-Maker and The Diamond of the Spirit King are the first two, represent the peak of a long, distinguished tradition in the Viennese popular theater. These plays are a witty and poetic mix of fantastic fairy-tale elements and ironic social commentary.Blending literal accuracy with faithfulness to the lively performability of the original, Edmund Kimbell's translations make these works available and appealing to English-speaking scholars and performers alike. 0aRaimund, Ferdinand, 1790-1836 -- Translations into English. 0aTranslations into English 0aRaimund, ferdinand, 1790-1836  c633360d633360  00104070aACLbACLcGENd2026-09-28l0o832.6 RAI.23p222424r2026-09-28 16:10:57w2026-09-28yBK
