The methodology followed is that of Descriptive Translation Studies as developed by scholars such as Lefevere and Hermans with the accent on manipulation of the source text in line with the ideological stance of Translation and Manipulation in Renaissance England the translator and the need to ensure that readers of the translation re- ceived the ‘correct’ moral lessons. Particular attention is devoted to a case study of the strategies followed in Thomas North’s domesticating English translation of Jacques Amyot’s French translation of Plutarch’s Lives and the consequences for Shakespeare’s perception of Plutarch. Translation and Manipulation in Renaissance England John Denton John Denton was associate professor of English Language and Translation JEMS 1-2016 at the University of Florence until retirement in 2015. He has published on contrastive analysis, history of translation (with special reference to Early Modern England), religious discourse, literary and audiovisual translation.

In their in- troduction to a recent Companion volume on ‘Classical receptions’ the authors state: ‘By “receptions” we mean the ways in which Greek and Roman material has been transmitted, translated, excerpted, inter- preted,Journal rewritten, of Early re-imagedModern Studies and represented’ ( Hardwick and Stray 2008, 1). The key word for my aims in presenting this supplement to the is ‘translated’. In the chapters that follow most attention is devoted to the reception of Classical historical texts in Renaissance England and in particular the perception of one of the most popular writers ( Plutarch) by Shakespeare via vernacu- lar translation, in which manipulative domestication played a domi- nant strategical role. The following chapters draw, to some extent, on previously pub- lished material dating mostly from the 1990s listed in the references section at the end of the volume ( Denton 1992a onwards). Much of the material in these publications was discussed at conferences, sem- inars and follow up of lectures at the universities of Rome (La Sapi- enza), Catania, Parma, Milan (Gargnano sul Garda), Ragusa, Florence, 8 Translation and Manipulation in Renaissance England East Anglia (Norwich), Vienna, Boston (USA), Arras and Warsaw. I am happy to recall many hours of discussion on problems of translation studies with colleagues in what has now become my former depart- ment at Florence University (especially, Nicholas Brownlees, Fiorenzo Fantaccini, Donatella Pallotti and Christine Richardson). My thanks are due to one of the anonymous referees of the pre-publication man- uscript for reminding me, among other things, of the ancient origins of the ‘wh-JEMS questions’ discussed in Chapter 1. Last, but certainly not least, I am very grateful to Paola Pugliatti and Donatella Pallotti, the editors of for accepting this supplement to the Journal for publi- cation and for their patience in waiting for the goods to be delivered.

A word, Lucilius; How he received you, let me be resolved. Houppert acknowledges that some critics have tried to cast Caesar as the protagonist, but that ultimately Brutus is the driving force in the play and is therefore the tragic hero.

The Iconographyof False Friendship By CLIFFORD DAVIDSON THE REALIZATION THAT iconographic tableaux appear at central points in the drama of Shakespeare no longer seems to involve a radical critical perspective. Thus a recent study is able to show convincingly that the playwright presented audiences with a Hamlet who upon his first appear- ance on stage illustrated what the Renaissance would certainly have recognized as the melancholic contemplative personality.' As I have noted in a previous article, the hero of Macbeth when he sees the bloody dagger before him is in fact perceiving the image which most clearly denotes tragedy itself; in the emblem books, the dagger is indeed the symbol of tragedy,2 which will be Macbeth's fate if he pursues his bloody course of action. Such tableaux, it must be admitted, are often central to the meaning and the action of the plays.

    i 11 Parallel Lives: Plutarch's Lives, Lapo da Castiglionchio the Younger (1405-1438) and the Art of Italian Renaissance Translation CHRISTOPHER S. CELENZA Before his premature death in 1438 of an outbreak of plague in Ferrara, the Florentine humanist and follower of the papal curia Lapo da Castiglionchio the Younger left behind three main bodies of work in Latin, all still either unedited or incompletely edited: his own self-collected letters, a small number of prose treatises, and a sizeable corpus of Greek-to-Latin translations. This paper concerns primarily the last of these three aspects of his work and has as its evidentiary focus two autograph manuscripts that contain inter alia final versions of Lapo's Latin translations of Plutarch's Lives of Themistocles, Artaxerxes, and Aratus. In addition, however, to studying Lapo's translating techniques, this paper will address chiefly the complexities of motivation surrounding Lapo's choice of dedicatees for these translations. The range of circumstances will demonstrate, I hope, the lengths to which a young, little-known humanist had to go to support himself in an environment where there was as yet no real fixed, institutional place for a newly created discipline. Lapo and Translation: Patronage, Theory, and Practice Of the three areas mentioned, Lapo's translations represent the most voluminous part of his oeuvre and in fact it is to his translations that he owes his modem reputation. But why did this young humanist devote so much energy to translating? And why were Plutarch's Lives such an important part of his effort? An earlier version of this paper was delivered as an Oldfather Lecture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on 8 November 1996.
