'Antiquity Made Present offers a new, powerful exploration of the boom in classical translation in mid-Tudor England. Using a sophisticated, comprehensive methodology that reveals the sources, style, contexts, production, circulation, and reception of a range of milestone works, Schurink convincingly demonstrates that classical translations fostered a new sense of the English nation during the political and religious upheavals of the English Reformation. Schurink writes with rigor, clarity, subtlety, and nuance, offering a detailed, engaging, and convincing investigation of the cultural phenomenon of classical translation in mid-sixteenth century England.'
