George Chapman Boeken
George Chapman was een Engelse dramaturgoor, vertaler en dichter wiens werk de invloed van het stoïcisme laat zien. Als klassiek geleerde toonde hij een diepgaande betrokkenheid bij het antieke erfgoed, duidelijk zichtbaar in zowel zijn poëzie als zijn toneelstukken. Zijn stilistische benadering anticipeerde op de Metafysische Dichters van de 17e eeuw, terwijl zijn vertalingen van Homers epossen monumentale prestaties zijn in de Engelse vertaalkunst. Chapmans nalatenschap ligt in zijn meesterlijke omgang met klassieke thema's en zijn onderscheidende literaire stem.
