Lediglich der Schutzumschlag weist sehr leichte Gebrauchsspuren auf, sonst sehr sauber und ohne Anstreichungen / only the dust jacket shows very slight signs of usage, otherwise very clean and without markings. - William Wordsworth s two most extensive translation projects were his modernization of selected poems by Chaucer and his unfinished translation of Virgil s Aeneid. Bruce E. Graver offers the first reliable texts, the first complete account of their genesis and publication, and the fullest account of Wordsworth s practice as a translator. Graver s reading of the Aeneid corrects hundreds of substantive errors in the published texts of the translation. Unlike other volumes in the Cornell Wordsworth series, this one focuses on a particular kind of poetical work, translation. Like others, it includes reading texts with full critical apparatuses along with photographic reproductions and transcriptions of manuscripts. Graver s introduction and notes amount to a critical monograph on Wordsworth and translation. Graver suggests that both translation projects were self-conscious attempts on Wordsworth s part to compete with John Dryden, the preeminent English translator. He supplies evidence for a major reassessment of Wordsworth s attitudes toward Dryden and, indirectly, of the relationship of Wordsworth s poetry to British neoclassicism. Graver believes Wordsworth s scholarly abilities were much greater than are commonly supposed, and that his translations will interest classicists, medievalists, and eighteenth-century scholars as well as romanticists. / Contents Preface Abbreviations Manuscript Census Editorial Procedure Part I: Selections from Chaucer, Modernized Introduction Reading Texts The Prioress s Tale The Cuckoo and the Nightingale Troilus and Cresida.
