This Element surveys transmissions of ancient Greek and Latin texts
into anglophone literatures, often straddling boundaries between
translational responsibility and adaptive, re-creative textual
practices. Attention to manifestations of and reasons for
versioning, retranslation, hybridity, and translation as
experiment, compels an introductory discussion of evolving
tendencies of classical reception; with particular dispositions
relating to a sociocultural context such as that of the United
States observed in Section 3. The role paratexts play in the
dialogue between scholarship, literary art, and performance, is the
focus of Section 4, while Section 2 presents readers with a range
of English responses to Homer. Creativity through sites and
positions of translation is a defining feature of the workings of
literary traditions; and of antiquity and modernity, in constant
dialogue. This Element explores numerous textual manifestations and
reasons for invention, along with integrations of thinking on
classical translation over the centuries, helping shape present-day
translation studies.
