Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of the Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, Vol. 1 of 4: Translated From the Spanish by Motteux This edition of Don Quixote is an exact reprint of that edited by Mr. Lockhart, and published in five volumes at Edinburgh, in 1822. It was then that the translations of the Spanish Ballads first appeared, and although Mr. Lockhart did not place his name in the title-page, he is well known to be the translator of the Ballads, and to have edited the edition. We give from Blackwood´s Magazine of June, 1822, by way of preface, a notice of Mr. Lockhart´s notes and criticisms, and of the character of Motteux´s translation: "We have had in England no less than four distinct translations of the best of all romances, and none of them bad ones; but it strikes us as something very strange, that until now we should never have had any edition whatever of any one of these translations, containing notes, to render the text intelligible. The few miserable scraps, commonly found at the foot of the page, in the editions either of Smollett or Motteux, are not worth mentioning. The text of Don Quixote, full as it is of allusions to history and romance, remained, to all intents and purposes, without annotation, comment or explanation; and of course, of the readers of Don Quixote, very few ever understood the meaning of Cervantes.
