Annotation details
65 April 15 Athenaeum
Topic:
Confirming and reinforcing William Rossetti's translation.
Citation:
Rossetti, William M. "Miscellanea." Athenaeum (1865): 530. Web. 21 September 2011.
Summary:
This very brief letter to the editor to reinforce a point Rossetti made earlier that was also published in The Athenaeum (The Athenaeum; April 8, 1865). The April 15 letter cites a passage in Mallory's "Le Morte Arthur" using "strong" to imply "difficult" that Rossetti claims supports the correctness of his translation of a Dante passage that was disputed by a reviewer in TheAthenaeum review of the translation.
Keywords:
Strong, forte; English linguistic students, Dantesque Italian
Standards of Judgment:
A direct comparison of a 15th century word usage that confirms Rossetti's subsequent translation of Dante
References:
Le Morte Arthur, Roxburghe Club
Writing technique/tone:
Brief, to the point
Rhetorical mode:
