Philip Wilson (7)

[from Arc Publications website]
Philip Wilson grew up in Yorkshire and went on to work in comprehensive schools before turning to literary translation in the form of an MA and a PhD at the University of East Anglia, where he now teaches literature, translation and philosophy, after a spell at Inönü University, Malatya, Turkey. He has translated The Luther Breviary (with John Gledhill) and has edited Literary Translation: Re-drawing the Boundaries (with Jean Boase-Beier and Antoinette Fawcett). The monograph Translation after Wittgenstein will be published in 2015. He has published many poems in magazines, as well as a pamphlet, Blessed and Not Broken by the Fall.

He lives in Norwich and his interests include graphic novels, early music and the relationship between translation and mysticism. The Old and Middle High German texts in this volume have remained a constant source of fascination since he first encountered them as an undergraduate.
