Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of translated works by the author, spanning from the medieval period through the early 18th century. The author, who took up poetry in his youth, intended for these translations to be exercises in poetic technique more so than accurate historical representations of the original works. The collection includes Chaucer, Boccaccio, and other significant European poets, as well as the author's own imitations of English-Arabic verse. The author includes his own commentary on the works in the form of footnotes, offering insight into the original authors' techniques and historical context. This book presents a unique opportunity to view a variety of poetic styles and themes within a single volume, offering readers a glimpse into the development of poetry as an art form, while also showcasing the author's poetic talents. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
