Queen Elizabeth's Englishings is a book written by Caroline Pemberton and published in 1899. The book is a collection of translations of various works that were made during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England. The translations include works of classical literature, such as Ovid's Metamorphoses and Seneca's Medea, as well as religious texts like the Psalms and the Book of Common Prayer. Pemberton provides an introduction to each translation, giving background information about the original text and the translator. She also includes notes throughout the book to explain certain phrases or words that may be unfamiliar to modern readers. The book provides a glimpse into the literary culture of the Elizabethan era and the role of translation in making classical works accessible to a wider audience.
