OverviewThis is the first volume to offer a critical overview of the long and complicated history of translations of Virgil from the early modern period to the present day, transcending traditional studies of single translations or particular national traditions in isolation to offer an insightful comparative perspective. The twenty-nine essays in the collection cover numerous European languages - from English, French, and German, to Greek, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Slovenian, and Spanish - but also look well beyond Europe to include discussion of Brazilian, Chinese, Esperanto, Russian, and Turkish translations of Virgil. While the opening two contributions lay down a broad theoretical and comparative framework, the majority conduct comparisons within a particular language and combine detailed case studies with in-depth contextualization and theoretical background, showing how the translations discussed are embedded in their own cultures and historical moments. The final two essays are written from the perspective of contemporary translators, closing out the volume with a profound assessment not only of the influence exerted by the major Roman poet on later literature, but also why translation of a canonical author such as Virgil matters, not only as a national and transnational cultural phenomenon, but as a personal engagement with a literature of enduring power and relevance.

Let Go Fear: Future Virgils Endmatter Bibliography Notes on Contributors IndexReviewsVirgil and his Translators needs no conceptual justification. It is a hugely rewarding collection of essays, full of analysis, perception and insights into the translation of Virgil over the ages. * Stuart Lyons, Classics for all * Virgil and his Translators needs no conceptual justification. It is a hugely rewarding collection of essays, full of analysis, perception and insights into the translation of Virgil over the ages. * Stuart Lyons, Classics for all * Braund and Torlone have produced an international tribute to Virgil, a polyglot paean for the considerable effort expended through the ages on the transmission of the poet's limpid hexameters into a dizzying array of vernaculars. A testament to the success of the arduous endeavor is the urge the individual chapters engender both to search out familiar chestnuts of Virgilian translation for reexamination, and to explore unknown versions (and indeed unfamiliar languages) ... This is one of the most valuable Virgilian titles of its year. It deserves to be on the shelves of all libraries that service a classics curriculum, and in the personal collections of Virgilians and devotees of classical verse. * Lee Fratantuono, Classical Journal Online * Author InformationSusanna Braund moved to the University of British Columbia in 2007 to take up a Canada Research Chair in Latin Poetry and its Reception after teaching previously at Stanford, Yale, London, Bristol, and Exeter.
