Milton in Translation represents an unprecedented collaboration that demonstrates the breadth of John Milton´s international reception, from the seventeenth century through today. This book collects in one volume new essays written on the translation of Milton´s works written by an international roster of experts: stalwart and career-long Miltonists, scholars primarily of translation studies, and practitioners who have translated Milton´s works. Chapters are
grouped geographically but also, by and large, chronologically, given that Milton´s works radiated further abroad over time. The chapters on the twenty-three individual languages showcased in this volume are framed by ´Part I: Approaches´, consisting of an introduction and two major essays on the global
reach and the aural nature of Milton´s poetry, and by an epilogue. ´Part II: Influential Translations´ features the most influential languages in translations of Milton´s works (English, Latin, German, French). Then, accounts of Milton´s afterlives in specific languages are provided in ´Part III. Western European and Latin American Translations´ (Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, Icelandic, Italian, Portuguese, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish), ´Part IV: Central and Eastern European
Translations´ (Bulgarian, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Serbian/Montenegrin, Serbo-Croatian languages), ´Part V: Middle Eastern Translations´ (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian), and ´Part VI: East Asian Translations´ (Chinese, Japanese, Korean). The chapters in Parts II through VI include historical and critical context, a
brief history of translation in the language, and a case study on any single work or group of Milton´s works in translation.
