MHRA Publication

Published December 2020

‘This edition of Thomas May’s translation of Lucan’s Pharsalia forms a very welcome addition to the excellent MHRA series of Tudor and Stuart Translations... this admirably well-conceived edition certainly opens up May’s version – and Lucan himself – for today’s readers.’ — David Norbrook, Translation and Literature 31, 2022, 92-94 (full text online)

‘The really significant contribution to scholarship is Schurink’s General Introduction. Here we see his command of the subject, and can trace the logic and the evidence that results in the inescapable conclusion that we really should take Plutarch more seriously... there is much about these two volumes that makes them important material for anyone seeking to understand English literature in the sixteenth and, indeed, the seventeenth centuries.’ — Freyja Cox Jensen, Translation and Literature 30, 2021, 384-390 (full text online)

‘Along with Alex Davis’ General Introduction, appearing in the first volume, [the introductions to each text] are an edifying delight: concise yet comprehensive, capturing the sweep of religious history and the fine grain of philological insight, they exude an infectious enthusiasm for the material while managing to report both basic facts and the latest scholarship.’ — David Currell, Translation and Literature 32, 2023, 237-44 (full text online)
