Carlyle Ferren MacIntyre (July 16, 1890[1] - June 30, 1967) is an American poet and translator, best known for his translations of Baudelaire, Verlaine, and Rilke.[2]
Life[]
MacIntyre was born in Des Moines, Iowa.[1]
He attended Drake University from 1909 to 1911, but graduated from the University of Southern California with a B.A. in 1916 and an M.A. in 1920. He received a Ph.D. in 1923 from the University of Marbug in Germany.[1]
He taught at Los Angeles Polytechnic High School, Occidental College 1924-1928, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) 1928-1938, and University of California, Berkeley (1938-1944).[2]
He spent 1938 in Europe,[1] working on a translation of Goethe's Faust. A book of poems, Cafés and Cathedrals followed and was published in 1939. Faust Part I appeared in 1941, but publication negotiations for Part II collapsed, and the manuscript remains in a box at UCLA's Young Research Library.
The poem "Detail on a Street Corner in Herculaneum", from Cafés, resulted in MacIntyre being transferred from UCLA to Berkeley. MacIntyre was awarded Fulbright Fellowships in 1948 and 1953 to continue work on his translations of the above mentioned authors.
His work appeared in The Nation,[3] and Harper's.[4] He lived in Paris, Mexico, Germany, and France from 1955 to 1967. He lived his later years in Paris, France. He suffered an incapacitating stroke in 1960.[5] He died in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1967.
Recognition[]
He spent 1938 in Europe on a Guggenheim Fellowship.[1]
His papers are held at UCLA.[6]
