The July 2020 issue of Modern Language Review

William Barker's translation of Xenophon's Cyropaedia is the first substantial translation from Greek directly to English in Tudor England. It presents to its English readers an extraordinarily important text for humanists across Europe: a semi-fictional biography of the ancient Persian emperor, Cyrus the Great, so generically rich that it became (in England as well as Europe) a popular authority and model in the very different fields of educa...

The intensive editorial work currently being undertaken by teams in Austria, Germany and Great Britain is providing substantial new resources for academic study of and creative engagement with the work of Arthur Schnitzler (1862-1931), opening up new avenues of research and revealing previously obscured and unknown aspects of his writing processes and creative identity.

At the end of Molière's masterpiece Le Misanthrope (1666), the irascible anti-hero Alceste storms off the stage, resolved to spend the rest of his life in a remote wilderness rather than to spend another moment mixing with corrupt Parisian society. Molière's comedy is thus, in an important sense, unfinished, and various writers over the centuries, from Fabre d'Églantine in the eighteenth century to David Ives in the twenty-first, have written ...
