english translation of the joyous wisdom/the gay science?

Postby kenquirici on Tue Feb 23, 2010 8:03 pm

I'm looking for an online free full English translation of Nietzsche's 'The Gay Science', or 'The Joyous Wisdom' (it's earlier name).

For some reason I can't fathom, Google books has full English translations of practically all his
other works, but not this one. Is it because Kaufman's copyright on the title 'The Gay Science' is still in effect and being enforced? There MUST have been a late 19th c. English translation of this important work. Howcum nobody's scanned it in somewhere? Gutenberg e.g. doesn't have it either, under
either title.

Appreciate any help!
