Paperback. Condition: New. This authoritative textual edition presents Tobias Smollett's translation of Cervantes's Don Quixote in the form most faithful to Smollett's own intentions. It includes Francis Hayman's twenty-eight illustrations engraved for the original edition, Smollett's explanatory notes, and his prefatory "Life of Cervantes."Smollett's Don Quixote first appeared in 1755 and was for many years the most popular English-language version of Cervantes's masterpiece. However, soon after the start of the nineteenth century, its reputation began to suffer. Rival translators, literary hucksters, and careless scholars initiated or fed a variety of charges against Smollett-even plagiarism. For almost 130 years no publisher risked reprinting it.Redemption began in 1986, when the distinguished Mexican novelist Carlos Fuentes, in his foreword to a new (albeit flawed) edition of Smollett's translation, declared it to be "the authentic vernacular version" of Don Quixote in English. Fuentes's opinion was in accord with that of the preeminent Cervantist, Francisco Rodríguez Marín, who decades earlier had declared Smollett's Don Quixote to be his preferred English version.Martin C. Battestin's introduction discusses the composition, publication, and controversial reception of Smollett's Don Quixote. Battestin's notes identify Smollett's sources in his "Life of Cervantes" and in his commentary, provide cross-references to his other works, and illustrate Smollett's originality or dependence on previous translations. Also included is a complete textual apparatus, a glossary of unfamiliar terms, and an appendix comparing a selection of Francis Hayman's original illustrations with the engraved renderings used in the book.…

2 vols, cloth, large 4to, xvii, 325 + 329-700 pp, ills, facs. A very handsomely produced and extensively illustrated set. Contains 51 sections on individual novelists of the period, each written by an expert, typically providing brief biographical facts, a list of first editions, a bio-critical essay providing a chronological discussion of the author's novels and discussing the initial and subsequent critical response, and a listing of other biographical and critical studies of the author. Illustrated with author portraits, facsimile title and text pages, manuscript pages, scenes from the authors' lives etc. From the introduction - "As a reference work, these volumes are unique in that they bring together for the first time authoritative critical biographies of no fewer than fifty-one authors, pioneers all, who - some, to be sure, managing the business more successfully than others - created the forms and established the thematic concerns of the classic British novel. Of these fifty-one authors the great majority will be unknown to any but the most assiduous specialists in the field. The five great masters are well known, of course - Defoe, Richardson, Fielding, Smollett, and Sterne - and they are well represented here in substantial essays by scholars who know them thoroughly. No less familiar to most readers will be those authors who have given us a single classic work of prose fiction, such as Cleland's Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (1749), Walpole's Castle of Otranto (1764), Goldsmith's Vicar of Wakefield (1766), Mackenzie's Man of Feeling (1771), Godwin's Caleb Williams (1794), and Lewis's The Monk (1796) - and a few others, such as Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, Swift's Gullivers Travels (1726), Johnson's Rasselas (1759), and Beckford's Vathek (1787), which, though not generally regarded as novels, employ many of the conventions of the genre and even in their eccentricities help to define the elusive norm. Many readers will also have discovered for themselves the novels of three of the most interesting women of the period - the prolific and irrepressible Aphra Behn; Sarah Fielding, Henry's wise and gifted sister; and the celebrated Gothicist Ann Radcliffe. But here will also be found illuminating essays on more than thirty other novelists - most of them now quite forgotten - whose talents and intellectual concerns seemed remarkable enough in their own age to win them both a measure of critical acclaim and a considerable degree of popularity. Many of these writers were women who felt only too keenly the unjust social and political constraints that have caused their twentieth-century sisters to protest." Contents: Part 1: A-L; Part 2: M-Z. An ex-library set with spine-labels taped on spines, stamps on each edge of the textblocks, stamps on the front free endpapers, title-pages and rear pastedown endpapers, barcode stickers on rear boards, contents otherwise clean.…
