Book Synopsis
George Chapman's translations of Homer are the most famous in the English language. This volume presents the original (1611) text of Chapman's translation of the "Iliad", making only a small number of modifications to punctuation and wording where they might confuse the modern reader. It also provides an introduction and a glossary.

Trade Review
"Nicoll's gently modernised edition of Chapman's Homer [is] a work to be admired, bought, even read right through... This cheap reprint of a scarce and very good edition of a great work is a thing to be welcomed."--Colin Burrow, London Review of Books
