Sommario/riassunto

Balmer examines the art of classical translation from the perspective of the practitioner. From translating classical texts, to her poetry collections inspired by classical literature, she discusses her own relationship with ancient literature and uncovers the various strategies and approaches she has employed in their transformations into English.
