Question

back awhile ago i posted a question on needing translation of canterbury tales - i got a great site. thanks. now i need the same thing for faierie queen by chaucer and king lear by shakespeare

im looking for a modern day translation so that i can understand what is being said -im sorry if i was not clear on that

Answer 1

www.sparknotes.com has a 'no fear Shakespeare' section which has a modern translation of King Lear set against the origional text (the best way to read Shakespeare in translation I think as it will help you to be able to read the origioinal language better) but the translation does try to be a bit too trendy I think and is a bit slangy but it is the only free one i could find. There is also a good summery of the Fairie Queene on the same site.

There dosent appear to be an online translation of the Fairie Queene. Project Guttenburg has an edition with a modern glossary http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/6930 but i am not sure how easy this will be to use. Due to the lack of resources however your best bet may be to read the summary and then use the Project Guttenburg text.

Hope that helps

Actually just found this site which might help:
http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/eng/sfq/index.htm it has victorian translations of the stories in modern English but it is not a line by line translations so I would be a bit wary and use it in combination with the other texts

Answer 3

faierie queen was by edmund spenser, when you say translation, what do you mean, language translation or a modern day summary?
