{"product_id":"the-oxford-book-of-classical-adrian-poole-9780192142092","title":"The Oxford Book of Classical Verse in Translation","description":"Great Britain has a long and grand tradition of poets translating classical authors. Virtually every great poet from Chaucer on has tried his or her hand at translation, with the results often rivalling or even excelling the ancient original. This unique anthology presents the best of these translations, ranging from King Alfred, Alexander Pope, and Ben Jonson, to Alfred Lord Tennyson, Ezra Pound, and Ted Hughes. The book offers a vast array of responses to the song, verse, and drama of ancient Greece and Rome, and to poets themselves as varied as Homer, Sappho, Euripides, Virgil, Ovid, and Juvenal. Organized by classical author and text, the book gathers and juxtaposes English versions, sometimes of the same passage or poem, to dramatize the endless renewal of one great poetic tradition in and through another.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adrian Poole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0192142097\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780192142092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.32w x 1.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/1995 pg. 532\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/1996 pg. 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/1999 pg. 1275","brand":"Adrian Poole","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054629875967,"sku":"9780192142092","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4a146354-9fbe-4193-8b3e-997f047e56c8.jpg?v=1685031066","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-oxford-book-of-classical-adrian-poole-9780192142092","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
