Massimiliano Morini

Tudor Translation in Theory and Practice (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Filling a gap in the study of early modern literature, Morini exhaustively examines the aims, strategies, practice and theoretical ideas of the sixteenth-century translator. He analyzes early modern English translations of works by French and Italian essayists and poets, including Montaigne, Castiglione, Ariosto and Tasso, and of works by classical writers such as Virgil and Petrarch. In the process, he demonstrates how connected translation is with other cultural and literary issues: women as writers, literary relations between Italy and England, the nature of the author, and changes in the English language.
