Summary/Abstract: The act of translating literary works is perhaps the most important tool in crossing cultural barriers, allowing for the dissemination of ideas, themes and art forms. In this paper we will be taking a look at how one such act- the translation of Italian works into Enlisting during the Elizabethan Era- took place; discussing its results and effect on the cultural landscape of the British Isles: from imitators to the development of new forms of prose and verse; but also taking a look at the pushback that emerged from those who opposed to such influences appearing in their society.
