Opis

Excerpt from The Works of Mr. Francis Rabelais, Doctor in Physick, Vol. 2 of 2: Containing Five Books of the Lives, Heroick Deeds Saying of Gargantua and His Sonne Pantagruel To turn from Urquhart to Motteux is to travel at a page from the old world to the new, to exchange the fastness of Cromarty for the tobacco and the spilt wine of the tavern. A pert flippancy replaces Sir Thomas's majestic eccentricity; the slang of the coffee-house makes what poor substitute it can for the curious slang of the study; the facile familiarity of the journal comes forth a bitter contrast with the balanced gravity of scholarship. The sense of Rabelais is followed yet more closely in the books Motteux's translating, but the full humour of the original is attenuated to the taste of a feebler epoch; and while Sir Thomas Urquhart was in spirit earlier than his time, was, in fact, an over-ripe Elizabethan, Motteux appears a modern of the moderns, and, being a contemporary of Pepys, writes a lingo that would not have surprised his great-great-grandchildren.
