Principles and Problems of Translation in Seventeenth-Century England

'A study of Elizabethan translation is a study of the means by which the Renaissance came to England' - so said F. O. Matthiessen. This is, then, a study of the development of the English Renaissance in the seventeenth century, which saw great translations, including the Authorized Version of the English Bible, Chapman's Homer, and Dryden's Virgil. On what principles were these translations done and what were the problems of the translators? Professor Kitagaki attempts to answer these questions. Rare UK copy Copyright A© Yamaguchi Shoten.
