Homer and English Metre: An Essay on the Translating of the Iliad and Odyssey is a book written by William George T. Barter and published in 1862. The book is a critical analysis of the English translations of Homer's epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Barter examines the various translations of the poems and discusses the challenges of translating ancient Greek poetry into English, particularly with regards to the use of metre. He argues that the use of English metre, such as iambic pentameter, is essential in capturing the rhythm and musicality of Homer's original works. The book also includes a detailed discussion of the history of English translations of the Iliad and the Odyssey, as well as an analysis of the works of notable translators such as Alexander Pope and Samuel Butler. Overall, Homer and English Metre is a valuable resource for scholars and students of classical literature and translation studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
