Description: Newly Recovered English Classical Translations, 1600-1800 by Stuart Gillespie Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This is an edition of over 300 never-before-printed English translations of ancient Greek and Latin verse, selected from the surviving manuscripts of a 200-year period. They reveal a far broader, deeper, and richer culture of classical translation than previously apparent, with radical implications for classical reception and literary history. Publisher Description Newly Recovered English Classical Translations, 1600-1800 is a unique resource: a volume presenting for the first time a wide-ranging collection of never-before-printed English translations from ancient Greek and Latin verse and drama of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Transcribed and edited from surviving manuscripts, these translations open a window onto a period in which the full richness and diversity of engagement with classical texts throughtranslation is only now becoming apparent. Upwards of 100 identified translators and many more anonymous writers are included, from familiar and sometimes eminent figures to the obscure and unknown. Since veryfew of them expected their work to be printed, these translators often felt free to experiment, innovate, or subvert established norms. Their productions thus shed new light on how their source texts could be read. As English verse they hold their ground remarkably well against the printed translations of the time, and regularly surpass them. The more than 300 translations included here, from epigrams to (selections from) epics, are richly informative about the receptionof classical poetry and drama in this crucial period, copiously augmenting and sometimes challenging the narratives suggested by the more familiar record of printed translations. This edition will proveto have far-reaching implications for the history both of classical reception and of English translation - a phenomenon central to English literary endeavour for much of this era.
