	The review of Stuart Gillespie and David Hopkins’ The Oxford History of Literary
	Translation in English. Volume 3. 1660–1790 (prepared in a series edited by Peter
	France and Stuart Gillespie) published by Oxford University Press in 2005 concentrates
	on the crucial issues of this hefty volume. Special attention is paid to the basic
	assumptions of the editors which resulted in a coherent volume offering a broad but
	well-structured overview of literary translation in the period under discussion. Such
	an approach helps to present the largely disregarded role of translation as a medium
	through which new ideas and literary styles were adapted into original English literature
	of the Enlightenment. The review ends in a moderately critical presentation of the
	book’s treatment of translations from Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski, the only Polish
	author included, yet the criticism does not overshadow the fact that the reviewed
	volume is an extremely valuable work of scholarship.
