Translations by Elizabeth I, 1592-98
by Janel Mueller and Joshua Scodel
Elizabeth’s translations demonstrate her fantastic intellect and seriousness. This is what she did for her leisure when she was taking a break from ruling the country! In her translation of Boethius there is a real sense of it being done in haste, the grammar is a bit wonky and it is a very knotty muscular translation which has a rugged engaging quality.
