EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of John Hoole, a renowned English translator who lived from 1727 to 1803. The image is taken from "The Life of Samuel Johnson, Vol. II" by James Boswell, published in London in 1907 by Sir Isaac Pitman & Sons Ltd. In this portrait, we see Hoole depicted in profile, his head and shoulders framed against a plain background. He wears spectacles perched on his nose, hinting at his scholarly pursuits and dedication to his craft. A wig adorns his head, reflecting the fashion of the time. Hoole's contribution as a translator cannot be overstated. His work brought numerous literary masterpieces into the English language for wider audiences to appreciate and enjoy. This photograph allows us to glimpse into the life of this remarkable man who dedicated himself to bridging linguistic gaps between cultures. Although little else is known about this particular image or its photographer, it serves as a testament to Hoole's legacy and impact on British literature during the eighteenth century. Through this monochrome portrait, we are reminded of Hoole's significant role in preserving and sharing important works with readers across generations. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but feel an appreciation for John Hoole's intellectual prowess and lasting influence on translation studies—a true pioneer in his field.
