minus-squareGrabthar@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoWell, I am due for a re-read. Thanks for the suggestion!
minus-squareTheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-21 month agoIt is a great tight translation to the text. Pope uses the Roman names for most of the characters which I find a turn off. But Pope’s translation is really tight considering his iambic AA BB CC limitations. It is really an amazing work of English.
