Plutarch's Lives (1859)
by Plutarch, translated by "eminent hands", edited by John Dryden and Arthur Hugh Clough
→

Plutarch's Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans, commonly called Parallel Lives or Plutarch's Lives, is a series of biographies of famous men, arranged in tandem to illuminate their common moral virtues or failings. The surviving Parallel Lives (in Greek: Bioi parallèloi), as they are more properly and commonly known, contain twenty-three pairs of biographies, each pair consisting of one Greek and one Roman, as well as four unpaired, single lives. It is a work of considerable importance, not only as a source of information about the individuals biographized, but also about the times in which they lived.
The "Dryden translation" was first published in 1683 with a life of Plutarch by Dryden and translations by others supposedly under his direction. This edition first published in 1859, edited by A.H. Clough.
