Originally published in 1933, this book contains the Latin text of
Milton's Epitaphium Damonis, alongside a rhyming English
translation by Walter Skeat, done in honour of the late scholar
Israel Gollancz. Skeat reproduces the version of the poem found in
a pamphlet belonging to the British Museum with minimal editorial
notes, with the exception of small typographical corrections. This
book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Milton's Latin
poetry.
Originally published during the early part of the twentieth
century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were
designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of
topics. They were written by experts for the general reader and
combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on
accessibility. Published in 1911, W. W. Skeat's English Dialects
from the Eighth Century to the Present Day offers a sketch of the
beginnings of dialects in England, the elements of Scandinavian and
French influence on them, and their gradual development over a
period of twelve hundred years.
