Two volumes: 'The Iliad', 'The Odyssey', and the 'Lesser Homerica'; translation by Elizabethan poet George Chapman, first published complete in 1616; edited, introductions, notes, commentaries and glossaries by Allardyce Nicoll.
John Keats on the thrill of gaining access to the Classical Greek world of Homer:
'Oft of one wide expanse had I been told
That deep-browed Homer ruled as his demesne
Yet did I never breathe its pure serene
Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold.'
