| Meer info | In this collection, esteemed poet and translator David R. Slavitt brings to life John Milton’s Latin poetry with deft, imaginative modern English translations.\n\nWhile Milton is recognized as one of the most learned English poets in history, his Latin poetry is less well known. Slavitt’s careful rendering brings Milton’s Latin poems―many written in his late teens―into the present. He keeps true to the style of the originals, showing Milton’s maturing poetic voice and the freedom he found working in Latin.\n\nOn the Gunpowder Plot\nO, sly Guy Fawkes, you plotted against your king\nand the British lords, but did you intend to be kind\nand make up for your malice in this thing\nwith at least a show of piety? Do we find\nan intention, perhaps, of sending the members of court\nup to the sky in a chariot made of fire\nthe way Elijah traveled. Or do I distort\nthe simple wickedness of your desire?\n\nFeaturing an introduction by Gordon Teskey, this comprehensive English-language collection of Milton’s Latin poems pays due respect to a master. Poetry lovers, Milton fans, and scholars of either will welcome, enjoy, and learn from this work. |
