  • Virgil and his Translators

    Susanna Braund, Zara Martirosova TorloneEDITORBOOKVirgil and His Translators2018

    This is the only volume of its kind that addresses the long and complicated history of translations of Virgil, whose poems were at the centre of the educational curriculum and the wider culture of Europe until the nineteenth century. While this collection of chapters covers numerous European traditions (English, French, German, Greek, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish), the volume also extends its focus beyond European translations to translatio…

London and New York: Bloomsbury, 2017. Pp. ix, 200. $114.00. ISBN 978-1-4725-8391-8.

Horace essentially serves as a distant patron for …

  • The Aeneid and ‘Les Belles Lettres’

    Séverine Clément-Tarantino, Zara Martirosova Torlone et al.BOOKVirgil and His Translators2018

    This chapter walks us backwards on the path of French prose translations of Virgil, from Paul Veyne to Jacques Perret. While Clément-Tarantino emphasizes that Veyne’s fluid and vivacious translation rekindled the interest of the French-reading public in Virgil, she also analyses the principles behind Perret’s translation of the Aeneid in the context of his book Latin et culture . In this work, which elaborates on the ?art of translation?, Perret …

  • Happy Vergil Goes North

    Zara Martirosova TorloneARTICLEThe Classical World2017

    This essay addresses the reception of Vergil's Aeneid in Russian letters, specifically its optimistic point of view. Russian interest in Vergil is a belated one and complicated by the numerous European receptions, thus offering a peculiar rendition of the great Roman epic cast in imperial, spiritual, and deeply personal lights from the eighteenth century to the present day. Despite Vergil's relative lack of success in Russian translation, the imp…

  • Vergil in Russia

    Zara Martirosova TorloneBOOKVergil in Russia2014

    The Russian reception of the greatest Roman poet, Vergil, provided Russian thinkers with a way in which to define Russian-European features. This volume looks to uncover the nature of Russian reception of Vergil, and argues that the best way to analyse his presence in Russian letters is to view it in the context of the formation and development of Russian national and literary identity.

  • Latin Love Poetry

    Denise Eileen Mccoskey, Zara Martirosova Torlone et al.BOOKLatin Love Poetry2014

    I hate and I love.' The Roman poet Catullus expressed the disorienting experience of being in love in a stark contradiction that has resonated across the centuries. While his description might seem to modern readers natural and spontaneous, it is actually a response planned with great care and artistry. It is that artistry, and the way in which Roman love poetry works, that this book explores. Focusing on Catullus and on the later genre of elegy …

    The introduction to the special issue provides an overview of the rich and longstanding history of classical receptions in the countries discussed in this collection: Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, and Russia. The introduction briefly outlines the chronological milestones of these countries’ deep engagement with Greco–Roman antiquity and offers a rationale for the desirability of further research into that engagement in Anglophone scholarship. Furthe…

  • Russian Tityrus

    Zara Martirosova TorloneARTICLEClassical Receptions Journal2013References: 1

    This article analyses Joseph Brodsky’s reconfiguring of Vergil’s pastoral poetry, specifically, the reshaping of the pastoral space in the Russian poet’s eclogues. As Brodsky subtly alludes to his Roman counterpart, he asserts his place within the genre of pastoral by making the pastoral landscape the focal point of his innovation. Brodsky locates the familiar locus amoenus of ancient pastoral in the winter terrain, from where poetry written in C…

  • Vasilii Petrov and the first Russian translation of the Aeneid

    Zara Martirosova TorloneARTICLEClassical Receptions Journal2011References: 1

    This essay analyses the first translation of Vergil’s Aeneid into Russian in 1781–6 by Vasilii Petrov (1736–99) and suggests that this translation must be interpreted in the context of newly established Russian translation practices and Catherine the Great’s cultural politics. Although Petrov’s translation never became canonical, its value in the series of Russian translations of the Aeneid is underestimated. Petrov’s translation reflected how po…
