German term (edited): verbunden mit einer �sthetischen W�rdigung im narrativen Stil
Selected

together with an aesthetic appreciation in the narrative form

'aesthetic' = Brit. 'esthetic' = U.S.
Peer comment(s):
agree Gabrielle Lyons : Seems like an appropriately literary and traditional register - and appreciation renders the positive, praise element of Wurdigung

agree Richard Benham : Except I'd perhaps go with "style"--it can't really be in narrative form.

neutral writeaway : agree with Gabrielle about the use of appreciation, but otherwise find it a somewhat0 awkward version of Jonathan's suggestion. I'd drop the "the". (note-this is MY opinion and no more...)

German term (edited): verbunden mit einer �sthetischen W�rdigung im narrativen Stil

including in their narrative an appreciation of the aesthetic aspects of the artist's work

Just a very roundabout way of saying that writers didn't restrict themselves to bald biographical details!
Peer comment(s):
agree Peter Linton (X) : Very convincing. I doubt it can be bettered.

neutral Richard Benham : You seem to have realigned some of the logical/grammatical relationships here. Sometimes it's necessary, I know, but there are alternatives here.

It's true - I felt that "im narrativen Stil" had a degree of prominence in the sentence which wasn't really justified by what it added to the meaning - but to change that is to go somewhat beyond the translator's role.

I'd say

together with a retrospective of his esthetics in narrative form.

I'd say 'retrospective of his artistic achievements'


esthetic retrospective or recognition sounds like 'eine feinsinnige Würdigung' not meant here
