Excerpt from Horace for English Readers: Being a Translation of the Poems of Quintus Horatius Flaccus Into English Prose No Latin poet has been translated into verse, in this country at least, more often than Horace. Perhaps the long list of poets, scholars, and statesmen who from generation to generation have tried their hands at the task may suggest the reflection that part of its fascination must consist in its insuperable difficulties. The humbler part of translating him into prose has been scantily attempted in England, though the example has been set us in France. By translation into prose I understand that which has been done for Virgil by Conington and more lately by Mackail, for Homer by Lang and his coadjutors, or again in part for Dante by Dr. Carlyle - a translation which, while literal in the sense that every thought is exactly represented in its proper order, tone, and emphasis, has also just so much of literary form that it can be read by a modern reader without distress, I and understood without perpetual reference to the original; and that (to adapt Horace's own expression) if in the process the author be necessarily dismembered, the fragments can at least be recognized for those of a poet. Conington's prose translation of Virgil, which was published posthumously, but which had been read by him in his Professorial lectures, was perhaps the first attempt of the kind for a Latin poet. Nowadays a translation into English prose is coming to be thought as necessary to a complete edition of a classic as a translation into Latin was to a Greek classic at the beginning of the last century.

Raphael Holinshed's account of English history from 1377-1485 in the Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland is most well-known as the source of Shakespeare's English history plays. Although the Chronicles are widely read and studied, published scholarly opinion, with a few exceptions, has been limited to the discipline of history. This book explores the historiographic materials of the Chronicles through a literary lens, focusing on how Renaissance men and women read historical texts, framed by these questions: How did Holinshed understand and view history? What were his motives in composing the Chronicles? What did sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English readers learn from the work? Igor Djordjevic explores both the lexical and semantic dimensions as well as lessons in both foreign and domestic policy in the 1577 and 1587 texts and in writers who used or appropriated the Chronicles, including Shakespeare, Daniel, Heywood, and Milton. This study revaluates our understanding of Renaissance chronicle history and the impact of Holinshed on Tudor, Jacobean, and Caroline political discourse; the Chronicles emerge not as a series of rambling, digressive episodes characteristic to a dying medieval genre, but as the preserver of national memory, the teacher of prudent policy, and a builder of the commonwealth ideal.
