Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 16 AIL 1533 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Trap: Crediting the Translator to the Author
Captions available
The idea
Pope's rhyme is not Homer's, and Hall's alliteration is a preserved feature rather than an invented one. An option describing a verse form should be read as describing the version printed. Obligation O-9 exists for this trap alone.
In practice
Describe the version printed.
Where people slip
The form may be the translator's.
