Among the major publishing achievements of 2022 is the issuing of the complete Esperanto poetry of Marjorie Boulton (1924-2017), in two volumes, under the editorship of Edmund Grimley Evans. The event offers a good occasion to revisit the achievements of this outstanding Esperanto poet and her many contributions to the Esperanto movement. Among the poets she most admired was William Shakespeare. For many years she worked on a translation of one of Shakespeare’s later plays, Coriolanus, but did not succeed in finishing it. Recently the present speaker did so – at the same time full of admiration for her translation and curious as to why she never completed it.
