Abstract:

This Element surveys transmissions of ancient Greek and Latin texts
into anglophone literatures, often straddling boundaries between
translational responsibility and adaptive, re-creative textual
practices. Attention to manifestations of and reasons for versioning,
retranslation, hybridity, and translation as experiment, compels an
introductory discussion of evolving tendencies of classical reception;
with particular dispositions relating to a sociocultural context such
as that of the United States observed in Section 3. The role paratexts
play in the dialogue between scholarship, literary art, and
performance, is the focus of Section 4, while Section 2 presents
readers with a range of English responses to Homer. Creativity through
sites and positions of translation is a defining feature of the
workings of literary traditions; and of antiquity and modernity, in
constant dialogue. This Element explores numerous textual
manifestations and reasons for invention, along with integrations of
thinking on classical translation over the centuries, helping shape
present-day translation studies.
