Professor Neil Rhodes launches the MHRA Tudor and Stuart Translations series

Professor Neil Rhodes, of the School of English, will host a reception with co-General Editor, Andrew Hadfield, for the launch of the MHRA Tudor and Stuart Translations series at the Early Modern Exchanges conference at UCL on 16 September. One of the first two volumes in the series will be Gavin Douglas's translation of The Aeneid, edited by Dr Gordon Kendal, who is an Honorary Research Fellow in the School of English at St Andrews.
Douglas was a graduate of St Andrews in the early sixteenth century, and his translation was the first of Virgil's epic into any European vernacular.
