Claudian’s Rufinus: or, the court-favourite’s overthrow by Claudius Claudianus is a notable work published by Gale ECCO, Print Editions on May 28, 2010. This second edition spans 54 pages and is presented in English. The text serves as a satirical poem that critiques political figures of its time, reflecting the literary style and social commentary characteristic of the 18th century.

Readers will find a revival of Claudianus’s original attack on Rufinus, which is framed within the context of political and social dynamics of the era. The edition includes a translator’s address to Alexander Pope and features an ‘After-thought’ that adds depth to the discussion. This work is part of a broader effort to digitize and preserve significant 18th-century manuscripts, making it accessible for libraries, students, and scholars interested in linguistics and the evolution of language.


Official synopsis Publisher

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others. Experience the birth of the modern novel, or compare the development of language using dictionaries and grammar discourses.
