Synopsis:

English Translation and Classical Reception is the first genuine cross-disciplinary study bringing English literary history to bear on questions about the reception of classical literary texts, and vice versa. The text draws on the author s exhaustive knowledge of the subject from the early Renaissance to the present. * The first book-length study of English translation as a topic in classical reception * Draws on the author s exhaustive knowledge of English literary translation from the early Renaissance to the present * Argues for a remapping of English literary history which would take proper account of the currently neglected history of classical translation, from Chaucer to the present * Offers a widely ranging chronological analysis of English translation from ancient literatures * Previously little-known, unknown, and sometimes suppressed translated texts are recovered from manuscripts and explored in terms of their implications for English literary history and for the interpretation of classical literature
