{"product_id":"elizabeth-i-elizabeth-i-9780226201320","title":"Elizabeth I: Translations, 1592-1598","description":"England's Virgin Queen, Elizabeth Tudor, had a reputation for proficiency in foreign languages, repeatedly demonstrated in multilingual exchanges with foreign emissaries at court and in the extemporized Latin she spoke on formal visits to Cambridge and Oxford. But the supreme proof of her mastery of other tongues is the sizable body of translations she made over the course of her lifetime. This two-volume set is the first complete collection of Elizabeth's translations from and into Latin, French, and Italian. \u003cbr\u003e Presenting original and modernized spellings in a facing-page format, these two volumes will answer the call to make all of Elizabeth's writings available. They include her renderings of epistles of Cicero and Seneca, religious writings of John Calvin and Marguerite de Navarre, and Horace's \u003ci\u003eArs poetica\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as Elizabeth's Latin \u003ci\u003eSententiae\u003c\/i\u003e drawn from diverse sources, on the responsibilities of sovereign rule and her own perspectives on the monarchy. Editors Janel Mueller and Joshua Scodel offer introduction to each of the translated selections, describing the source text, its cultural significance, and the historical context in which Elizabeth translated it. Their annotations identify obscure meanings, biblical and classical references, and Elizabeth's actual or apparent deviations from her sources. \u003cbr\u003e The translations collected here trace Elizabeth's steady progression from youthful evangelical piety to more mature reflections on morality, royal responsibility, public and private forms of grief, and the right way to rule. \u003ci\u003eElizabeth I: Translations \u003c\/i\u003eis the queen's personal legacy, an example of the very best that a humanist education can bring to the conduct of sovereign rule.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth I\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226201325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226201320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.80w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2009","brand":"Elizabeth I","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086396240127,"sku":"9780226201320","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea28e0f0-3003-4add-bb37-5d954952fff1.jpg?v=1769094440","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/elizabeth-i-elizabeth-i-9780226201320","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
