Recenzje

This is an important collection of essays on the wide range of translations that have been made of Milton's works, encompassing several centuries of publication...The sheer number of translations that the collection manages to catalogue is breathtaking, ranging over the major European languages, through Latin and Hebrew, as well as noting cultural reception from South America to Asia...one can imagine Milton would have approved of the demonstration of this global engagement with his work.
