Legacy
After his death Musil's work was almost forgotten in German-speaking countries. His writings began to reappear during the early 1950s. The first translation of The Man Without Qualities in English was published by Ernst Kaiser and Eithne Wilkins in 1953, 1954 and 1960. An updated translation by Sophie Wilkins and Burton Pike, containing extensive selections from unpublished drafts, appeared in 1995. Musil's work has been getting more attention recently, including the philosophical aspects of his novels. The philosophy journal The Monist is seeking submissions for a special issue on "The Philosophy of Robert Musil" to be published in January 2014 and edited by Bence Nanay.
