For, hitherto, I had been, as it were, wearing costume in\u003cbr\u003eliterature. The rich, figured English of the earlier part of the\u003cbr\u003eseventeenth century had always had a peculiar attraction for me.

Thus, when in 1884 I got a commission to translate the\u003cbr\u003eHeptameron, I wrote quite naturally in the language of my favourite\u003cbr\u003eperiod, and, as some critics declare, made my English version somewhat\u003cbr\u003emore antique and stiff than the original. And so \"The Anatomy of\u003cbr\u003eTobacco\" was an exercise in the antique of a different kind; and \"The\u003cbr\u003eChronicle of Clemendy\" was a volume of tales that tried their hardest to\u003cbr\u003ebe mediæval; and the translation of the \"Moyen de Parvenir\" was still a\u003cbr\u003ething in the ancient mode._","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080243429616,"sku":"2940014584487","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014584487","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
