		Joseph Addison was born in Milston, Wiltshire on 1 May 1672 and died in London on 17 June 1719.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2004.10.21
		Susanne Gippert's book on Joseph Addison's adaptations of stories from Ovid's Metamorphoses provides an instructive and detailed commentary on the specific methodological approach to translation chosen by this early eighteenth century English author, adducing both Addison's own critical analysis of Ovid and the literary sensibilities of the Augustan age in English literature.
		The result is a fascinating exegesis of both Ovid and Addison, instructive both in the general methodology of translation and in the reception of a specific author.
		An Appendix of Addison's complete text of the selected translations, each followed by the original texts in Latin, is helpfully included, although one may wish for the English and Latin to be rather on facing pages (as in Loeb editions) for easier comparative analysis in reference to the Commentary.

		The aim of Addison’s political thought, which was based on a natural law radiating from the divine will and the political equality of man, was the preservation of limited, consensual, and constitutional government and a free, commercial society.
