Plato in the Third Sophistic examines the influence and impact of Plato and Platonism in the era of Byzantine and Christian rhetoric. The volume brings together specially commissioned articles from leading scholars of late antique philosophy and literature. Their examinations show that Plato is the single most important and influential literary figure used to frame the literature of this time. Plato in the Third Sophistic will help scholars and students from a wide range of disciplines to better understand the development of Christian literature in this era as an essential link in the history of Platonism as well as that of Christianity.

Thomas Traherne (1637?-1674), a clergyman of the Church of England during the Restoration, was little known until the early twentieth century, when his poetry and Centuries of Meditations were first printed. There have beensince only miscellaneous publications of his poetry and devotional writings. The Works of Thomas Traherne brings together for the first time all Traherne's extant works, including his notebooks, in a definitive, printed edition. The poems in this volume are independent, not extracted from Traherne's prose, and demonstrate the range of his imagination. Each poem has its own unique form, line numbers, meter and rhyme, and they are personal in nature with a didactic purpose, filled with joy and thanksgiving. They are also new transcriptions from four manuscripts, held variously at the Bodleian, the British Library, and the Folger Shakespeare Library. They include thirty-seven autograph poems from the "Dobell Folio"; Poems of Felicity, taken from Philip Traherne's incomplete edition of his brother's poems; The Ceremonial Law, an incomplete, autograph, narrative poem in rhyming couplets, wherein Traherne not only gives a reading of events in the Old Testament as types fulfilled in the New, but also interprets his own spiritual journey in terms of the stories from Pentateuch; and the "Early Notebook", made up of notes from various sources, probably from Thomas's undergraduate days, as well as five autograph poems. Included in the Appendix are the "Manuscript foliation of Poems" and "The Story of the Traherne MSS. by their Finder" by William T. Brooke; a glossary and index of titles and first lines complete the volume.

With Faithful Translators Jaime Goodrich offers the first in-depth examination of women's devotional translations and of religious translations in general within early modern England. Placing female translators such as Queen Elizabeth I and Mary Sidney Herbert, Countess of Pembroke, alongside their male counterparts, such as Sir Thomas More and Sir Philip Sidney, Goodrich argues that both male and female translators constructed authorial poses that allowed their works to serve four distinct cultural functions: creating privacy, spreading propaganda, providing counsel, and representing religious groups. Ultimately, Faithful Translators calls for a reconsideration of the apparent simplicity of "faithful" translations and aims to reconfigure perceptions of early modern authorship, translation, and women writers.

Dès le début de la mission jésuite dans l'Angleterre d'Elizabeth Ire, lettres, autobiographies, pamphlets s'inscrivent dans un programme mis en place par la Compagnie de Jésus, visant tant à l'édification des catholiques anglais qu'au dénigrement du gouvernement de la reine auprès des peuples européens. À la fois outils de propagande et seuls moyens d'information possibles entre l'île et le continent, les écrits missionnaires permettent à leurs auteurs de donner corps à la communauté récusante clandestine, ainsi qu'à leur mission. Cette production n'est toutefois pas sans danger, les espions de la reine étant nombreux. Pour peu que ces textes tombent entre de mauvaises mains, les conséquences pour leurs auteurs et leurs proches peuvent être dramatiques. C'est pourquoi les lettres sont chiffrées ou écrites à l'encre sympathique afin que le message ne se révèle qu'aux yeux de l'initié. Cette écriture secrète ne suffit pas toujours à protéger le texte. Pour autant, les jésuites ne cessent d'écrire, jusqu'au fond du cachot parfois où la plume et le papier leur sont pourtant interdits. Les graffitis ou les lettres griffonnées à la hâte avec le charbon d'une bougie attestent l'urgence qui préside à l'acte d'écriture, lequel semble dépasser la seule visée programmatique pour revêtir une dimension ontologique, permettant à l'auteur de dépasser le traumatisme de l'expérience immédiate et de renouer avec sa propre identité, mise à mal par l'exil, la prison ou la perspective de l'exécution.
