Connoisseurs of American intellectual culture will take note of the name Grace Norton, recognizing her as the sister of the great 19th century Harvard philologist & professor of Romance languages, Charles Elliot Norton, who as the Cambridge heir of H.W. Longfellow was the translator of the first truly modern, truly accurate English-language Dante (c. 1891) among many other achievements for which he is still honored w/ a prestigious professorship & annual lecture in his name. His sister Grace had many achievements to her credit as well in scholarship & in translation & in her central role in fostering this edition of Montaigne from conception to publication in close collaboration w/ the scandalous scion of the Salem Pickerings, G.B. Ives. * ABOUT THE TRANSLATOR: George Burnham Ives (1856-1930) graduated summa cum laude from Harvard Law School & became the Assistant District Attorney of Essex County (MA). On May 12, 1890, Ives pleaded guilty to charges of embezzlement & forgery, having been caught misappropriating tens of thousands of dollars from various trust funds as well as squandering his wife's inheritance. He was sentenced to 8 1/2 years in Charlestown Prison & was disbarred. While in prison, Ives developed a second career as a translator. After his release, he became a distinguished & prolific literary translator, translating works by Balzac, Daudet, Gautier, Hugo, Maupassant, Mérimée, Sand & Montaigne into English. In later life, Ives produced the first comprehensive bibliography of the works of Oliver Wendell Holmes & worked as an editor at The Atlantic Monthly. * ABOUT THE COMMENTATOR: Grace Norton (b. 1834, d. May 5, 1926) was a noted scholar & lecturer. Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts to Andrew Norton & Catherine Eliot Norton, she was the sister of Charles Eliot Norton. She was educated in Cambridge & read extensively about the literature of France. Norton began studying French authors, chief among them Michel de Montaigne. An expert on Montaigne & the works of other authors, Norton traveled, lectured & wrote about them, her articles appearing in many publications. * SHIPPING: Mnemosyne carefully wraps, labels & packages this splendid set w/ our greatest elegance & care for FREE shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL within the United States & its territories. …
