Abstract

Gillespie’s work collects, coordinates and publishes a very large quantity of entirely new English verse translations of ancient Greek and Roman authors. No fewer than three hundred and nineteen translations, or extracts from translations, appear here for the first time. The translations, all produced during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, are carefully edited from their manuscript sources according to sensible principles, and the resulting text is unencumbered and highly readable. Taken as a whole, this book represents an extraordinary accumulation of scholarly labour and, as its contents are digested over the coming years, it will change our understanding of the reception of the poetry of Antiquity in England during these centuries.
