Item description from seller

XXII, 99 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Thomas Watson, the close friend of Christopher Marlowe, was in the 1590s acclaimed as one of the best poets of England. He was so highly admired that the young Shakespeare was praised as Watsons heir in the writing of erotic verse. He is now principally remembered for his Hekatompathia or Passionate Century of Love (1582), the earliest printed sonnet cycle in English; but his contemporaries regarded him chiefly for his Latin poetry, of which his most considerable work, the pastoral lament Amyntas, is here for the first time reprinted from the unique copy in the British Museum. On facing pages is given the almost line-by-line translation into English quantitative hexameters made by Abraham Fraunce in 1587. -- The two works are presented in meticulously edited texts prefaced with critical introductions on the qualities of Watsons Latin and Fraunces English quantitative verse.
