minus-squareTheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-26 个月前It is a great tight translation to the text. Pope uses the Roman names for most of the characters which I find a turn off. But Pope’s translation is really tight considering his iambic AA BB CC limitations. It is really an amazing work of English.
