Humanism, English Literature, and the Translation of Greek, 14301560

Riassunto

This book challenges the assumption that fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century English literature was minimally affected by the rebirth of Greek scholarship in the Italian Quattrocento. English translations from Greek shed new light on the formal, political, and confessional agendas underpinning translation and humanism in early modern England.
