Lord,George deForest [Chapman, George] : Homeric Renaissance; the Odyssey of George Chapman

Chatto & Windus, London, 1956

" For many of us who have no Greek, Chapman's Odyssey opens up, ... a new world of experience; and in spite of Matthew Arnold's strictures, it remains the most poetically alive of all Homeric translations. But how far does it give us the original Homer? Chapman claimed that he had a vision of the Odyssey's true meaning. The author shows, from the poet's own notes and his additions and changes to the literal meaning of Homer, how this claim may be justified." 224p. frontis. bibliography. Book. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Very Good, Slightly Scuffed
