Riassunto:
Excerpt from Classic Tales by Famous Authors, Vol. 8 of 20: Containing Complete Selections From the World's Best Authors With Prefatory Biographical and Synoptical Notes
HE plan of the Classic Library, of which this book is a part, comprises the best work of many great story-tellers. Among these are included arrange ments of The Iliad, The Odyssey and The Eneid. The aim has been to tell the story of each as clearly and vividly as possible. The story as here set forth is made up of extracts from several translations. Although complete, it is told more briefly and directly than in the original. Most readers will wish a complete version, and the question of choice among translators will arise.
It is a delicate matter to discriminate among several renderings of such high excellence as possessed by the English versions of Dryden, Cranch, Morris and Coning ton: and no critical estimate will be attempted here. The narrative interest, however, which is the guiding principle in this arrangement, is at its best in the fine version of Cranch, which moreover is of sustained poetic beauty and great nobility of diction. It is the version which will best please the majority of readers.
