Excerpt from The Cambridge History of English Literature, Vol. 4: Prose and Poetry, Sir Thomas North to Michael Drayton And one W. R., in an eloquent epistle, addressed to the trans lator, Wittily defends Lodge against the charge that he had not parrot-like spoken Seneca's own words and lost himself in a Latin echo. But both Chapman and Lodge's defender wrote when the art of translation had been pursued for two genera tions and was falling, not unnaturally, into a habit of self criticism. In general, the-translators of the heyday were accurate neither in word nor in shape. They followed the text as remotely as they imitated the style of their originals.
