Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Galatea: A Pastoral Romance In this translation of the Galatea of Cervantes, the object has been to convey the story in language as closely as possible to the original. The translator fears he may not alway have succeeded in completely rendering the narratives of the various incidents which characterise this simple pastoral epic, and that also he may have to apologise for somewhat of roughness in his transfusion of the poetry, which has found its equivalent, where the lines have been long, in blank verse. The other portions of the poetry he has rendered literally, but wherever the two dialects assimilated he has thought it sufficient to furnish only a kind of metrical rhythm. This elegant and simple production, the earliest from the pen of the eminent poet and novelist of Spain, pourtraying young, fresh, and vivid scintillations of genius, has never been translated into any language. We have only its shadow in the French production of Florian, which is based on the Spanish story, and though written in an engaging and graceful style, is not that mature and elegant child of the brain of Cervantes which is now for the first time presented to the English reader. It has been asserted that in the Galatea all the characters arc strictly innocent; there are, however, occasional cases of homicide and abduction, while envy and jealousy, the never failing vices of nature in all conditions of life, are found in contrast with the more ennobling and elevating virtues.
