Excerpt from The Ingenious Gentleman, Vol. 1 of 2: Don Quixote of La Mancha It was with considerable reluctance that I abandoned in favor of the present undertaking what had long been a favorite project, that of a new edition of Shelton's "Don Quixote," which has now become a somewhat scarce book. There are some - and I confess myself to be one - for whom Shelton's racy old version, with all its defects, has a charm that no modern translation, however skilful or correct, could possess. Shelton had the inestimable advantage of belonging to the same generation as Cervantes; "Don Quixote" had to him a vitality that only a contemporary could feel; it cost him no dramatic effort to see things as Cervantes saw them; there is no anachronism in his language; he put the Spanish of Cervantes into the English of Shakespeare. Shakespeare himself most likely knew the book; he may have carried it home with him in his saddle-bags to Stratford on one of his last journeys, and under the mulberry tree at New Place joined hands with a kindred genius in its pages. But it was soon made plain to me that to hope for even a moderate popularity for Shelton was vain. His fine old crusted English would, no doubt, be relished by a minority, but it would be only by a minority. His version has strong claims on sentimental grounds, but on sentimental grounds only. His warmest admirers must admit that he is not a satisfactory representative of Cervantes. His translation of the First Part was very hastily made - in forty days he says in his dedication - and, as his marginal notes show, never revised by him. It has all the freshness and vigor, but also a full measure of the faults, of a hasty production. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Ingenious Gentleman, Vol. 1 of 4: Don Quixote of La Mancha In this new edition of my Don Quixote the whole plan of the work has been altered and rearranged, in accordance with the new order of publication and the more popular form which it has taken. The text of the translation has been revised and amended throughout, and while nothing has been omitted, some errors have been corrected. The notes, while shortened and simplified, have been considerably increased in number. Some few have not been reproduced from the larger edition of 1888, which was intended for a limited circle of students and lovers of Cervantes, as not being of interest to general readers. In addition to the other subjects more largely treated of in the Appendices, there are now added a chapter on the Spanish Ballads and an Itinerary illustrated with a sketch map, showing the tracks of Don Ouixote in his three sallies. The Index, which I have been the first of the translators to give, has been revised and enlarged. The four volumes of the text of Don Quixote will be supplemented by a new and greatly enlarged Biography of Cervantes, which will contain in the Appendix a complete Bibliography of all his works, together with the translations in all languages.
