Theodore Alois Buckley Boeken
Theodore Buckley was voornamelijk een vertaler van klassieke werken. Zijn wetenschappelijke inspanningen richtten zich op de Homerische epen, waarbij zijn letterlijke prozavertalingen van de Odyssee en de Ilias, compleet met verklarende aantekeningen, deze fundamentele werken toegankelijk maakten. Naast vertalen onderzocht Buckley de grandeur en het verval van oude steden, zoals blijkt uit zijn invloedrijke boek over dit onderwerp, rijk aan verhalen en legenden. Zijn literaire bijdrage ligt in zijn nauwgezette aanpak om oude teksten en geschiedenis over te brengen en te contextualiseren voor hedendaagse lezers.
