The Augustan Art of Poetry: Augustan Translation of the Classics
Sowerby, Robin (Senior Lecturer, Department of English Studies, Stirling University)
The first comparative study of its kind, The Augustan Art of Poetry uses translations to explore the artistic influence of the Roman poetry of the Augustan age upon English neoclassical poetry. The book foregrounds the artistry of central texts such as Dryden's translation of Virgil and Pope's Homer. Comparisons are also made with modern versions.
