Doing something like this has the advantage of reducing the distance between reader and the translator or the author, but at the same time removes context. If it’s a high Victorian translation of a Greek text, what you’re reading is from ancient Greece, but given a Victorian cast, with all the ideological implications that brings with it. I’d rather you didn’t remove that context, but I can see why you’d do it.
Fantastic project, anyway.
