Book excerpt: The "Divine Weeks," Josuah Sylvester's translation of Du Bartas's "Semaines," was extravagantly admired in its own day and went into almost total eclipse after that day had passed. This edition is offered in the belief that, if the extremes of praise were unwarranted, so were the extremes of neglect. The purpose of this edition is to make Sylvester's work accessible to modern students, in a text as close as possible to the translator's intentions, with annotation appropriate for an encyclopedic work, and an introduction providing biographical, critical, and bibliographical contexts. The introduction gives as thorough an account of Sylvester's life and his work as a translator as can be managed, given the inaccuracies of older accounts. A full treatment of the reception and influence of "Weeks" in England was not possible in an introduction already lengthy, but a useful sketch of the main lines is given. Readers interested principally in Du Bartas should consult "The Works of Guillaume de Salluste, Sieur du Bartas" edited by Urban T. Holmes, John C. Lyons, and Robert W. Linker (Chapel Hill, N.C., 1935-40).
