George Chapman

    January 1, 1559 – May 12, 1634

    George Chapman was an English dramatist, translator, and poet whose work showcases the influence of Stoicism. As a classical scholar, he displayed a profound engagement with ancient heritage, evident in both his poetry and plays. His stylistic approach anticipated the Metaphysical Poets of the 17th century, while his translations of Homer's epics stand as monumental achievements in English translation. Chapman's legacy lies in his masterful handling of classical themes and his distinctive literary voice.
