Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Works of Arthur Hall of Grantham: Member of Parliament, Courtier and First Translator of Homer Into English
The appearance of this book, begun in 1912, has been delayed by the many vicissitudes it has undergone. For upwards of a year the ms. Lay at the American Embassy in Berlin, and even when it had reached the author again, the upheavals of the war were not conducive to its completion. It aims at giving a thorough account of one whose literary abilities and achieve ments were small, but who by his manysidedness brings us into contact with various aspects of the Elizabethan age, and there fore repays study.
