British, German...whatever

In an article about WG Sebald, The traveller, page 14, Review, February 10, we described Michael Hamburger as "a renowned German poet, translator (and) literary historian". Michael Hamburger is, and has always described himself as, a British poet. He has lived in England for the best part of 75 years, has always written predominantly in English, was a member of the British forces in the second world war, and has received awards for his contribution to British culture for his translation work and poetry.
