In the accompanying memoir to his English translation of \u003cem\u003eSeated Woman\u003c\/em\u003e, Timothy Mathews gives a wide-ranging account of the ways Apollinaire interacted in his life and art with Symbolism, Cubism, Futurism and Orphism, and the subjective as well as social experiences involved in urban modernism. In its scattered but controlled composition and the multiplicity of its tones, \u003cem\u003eSeated Woman\u003c\/em\u003e, published posthumously in 1920, is a powerful counterpoint to the multi-faceted poetry for which Apollinaire is often better known. In playing the music of violence as well as the generosity that characterised the Great War, it is a story of its time, for our time and any time. Apollinaire’s writing as a whole is a living testament to the extraordinary creative energy he both witnessed and produced, but also his understanding of its vulnerability to exploitation and decay. This book in turn seeks to honour that understanding, its persistent calls to the imagination, and the wit, vision and honesty that await readers of Apollinaire’s unique voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book includes a memoir by Timothy Mathews in which he discusses \u003cem\u003eSeated Woman\u003c\/em\u003e and his translation, as well as Apollinaire’s aesthetic generally and its crucial part in the development of European modernism. The book contains further texts in which Timothy Mathews responds to Apollinaire’s writing through translation, as well as critically and creatively. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A remarkable testimony to the ’on-the-go-ness’ of Apollinaire. Having plunged into his poems for years untold, I discovered this \u003cem\u003eSeated Woman\u003c\/em\u003e (My God, she is that and more) through Timothy Mathews’s rendering, I won’t just say ’translation’ - this is a kind of miracle of wit, facetious wording, and over-the-top, beyond the pale Beingness.
