Review of Thomas Urquhart's Rabelais Translation Focuses on Translator's Life

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This article is a review of Thomas Urquhart's translation of Rabelais, focusing on Urquhart's life and background rather than the translated work itself. Urquhart, born in 1611 into a prominent Scottish clan, received a comprehensive aristocratic education and traveled extensively in Europe. Despite his noble upbringing and intellectual pursuits, the review suggests he was largely a failure in his personal and professional life, set against the backdrop of significant religious and political turmoil in 17th-century Britain.
