As J. M. Cohen points out in the opening of his survey, the two great periods of excellence in English translation occur at the time of the Renaissance, and again at the present, when 'English has become...the common cultural language of a vast section of the world.' Helped by a discriminating use of quotation in prose and verse, Cohen covers the whole story of the English effort to make classics of other languages on their own, and he has wise words on the difficulties and achievements of individual translators. Ezra Pound once said: 'English literature lives on translation, it is fed by translation: every new heave is stimulated by translation, every allegedly quiet is an age of translation.' This booklet is a valuable commentary on this judgement by a writer who has himself won distinction as a translator of Cervantes, Montaigne and Rabelais.… (altro)

English translation has had two great periods of excellence; the first, generally called the Elizabethan though it extends from the reign of Henry VIII until the middle of the 17th century, in which the great works of the Classical past, and some modern books also, were introduced to a country which was from the literary point of view still backward, but whose language was at its freshest and most vigorous; and the second, which began some twenty years ago and still continues, in which English has become and remains the common cultural language of a vast section of the world.

The translators of this mid-century may then be generally compared, as they have been in this essay, to the masters of the first Elizabethan age.
