| 总结: | Joseph Massel's 1890 translation of "Samson Agonistes" into biblical Hebrew represents a problematic amalgam of Christian poetics and Judaic scripture.

The following essay examines the implications of translating "Samson Agonistes" into the language of the Tanakh, proposing that this Hebrew rendition functions to amend the historical, theological and political significance of its English source. |
