Translation, Diplomacy, and Espionage: New Insights into James Mabbe's Career
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: James Mabbe is best known today as a translator of early modern Spanish prose, but this biographically oriented contribution concentrates on other aspects of his life and work: his intellectual background in Oxford, his acquaintance with court life in London and Madrid, the activities of his patrons, and his translations of religious and political texts. Mabbe can be seen as an agent of exchange, one of those who helped link together the cultures of early modern Europe.
