The Poems and Translations of Sir Richard Fanshawe Volume II

This volume completes the first edition of the collected works of the early modern poet and translator Sir Richard Fanshawe, and contains Fanshawe's translation of The Lusiad of Camoes, the single work which affirms his importance in the history of translation. The translation of the Baroque play Querer por solo Querer from the court of Philip IV of Spain is also given, as is Fanshawe's Latin rendering of parts of The Lusiad , printed here for the first time.

Peter Davidson has lectured in English and Scottish Literature, Renaissance Studies, and Comparative Literature at the Universities of St Andrews, Stirling, and Leiden.
