| John Irons (Harrogate, 1942) studied medieval and modern languages (German, Dutch and French) at Cambridge University, where he subsequently also did a doctorate in poetic imagery on the Dutch poet P. C. Boutens. He has translated professionally since the mid 1980s, mainly from Norwegian, Dan-ish, Swedish and Dutch. The anthology 100 Dutch-Language Poems from the Medieval Period to the Present Day, co-produced with Paul Vincent (Holland Park Press, 2015) was joint winner of the Oxford-Weidenfeld Prize in 2016. Translations of Dutch poetry have regularly appeared on his blogspot since 2009, which also has an alphabetical index of dates of entry. | ||
