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 through translation 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 very few 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.00The more than 300 translations included here, from epigrams to (selections from) epics, are richly informative about the reception of 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 prove to 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. 546 $a Translated from the Ancient Greek and Latin. 650 0 $a Classical poetry $v Early works to 1800. $v Early works to 1800. 650 0 $a Greek poetry, Hellenistic $v Early works to 1800. $v Early works to 1800. 650 0 $a Latin poetry $v Early works to 1800. $v Early works to 1800. 650 0 $a Classical poetry $x Appreciation $z England. 700 1 $a Gillespie, Stuart, $d 1958- $e editor. 830 0 $a Classical presences. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214013204.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C159CD5A840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
