At the centre of the volume is an edition of the entirety of Arthur Golding's manuscript translation of emblematic fables, \u003cem\u003eA Morall Fabletalke\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003ec\u003c\/em\u003e. 1580s). By situating Golding's text alongside William Caxton's early printed translation from French (1485), Richard Smith's English version of Robert Henryson's Middle Scots \u003cem\u003eMoral Fabillis\u003c\/em\u003e (1577), John Brinsley's grammar school translation (1617), and John Ogilby's politicized fables translated at the end of the English Civil War (1651), this book shows the wide-ranging forms and functions of the fable during this period. Because Renaissance fables were not only textual but also visual, the edition includes the original images (woodcuts and engravings) designed to accompany the fables. The variety of fable translation practices included in this volume expands our understanding of literary translation in the early modern period. Likewise, the diversity of what gets counted as a fable, as the introduction shows, has implications both for the history of the Aesopian fable, and for the history of reading and thinking about fiction in the English Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Liza Blake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1907322256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907322259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Humanities Research Association\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.20d","brand":"Liza Blake","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125530915071,"sku":"9781907322259","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0c94b9eb-7335-4b85-ae1c-549854cecc03.jpg?v=1687443150","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arthur-goldings-a-moral-fabletalk-liza-blake-9781907322259","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
