Talk:Charles E. Bennett (scholar)

Related to translator of Lucretius?

I have a 1946 copyrighted translation of De Rerum Natura, credited to a Charles E. Bennett, published by Walter J. Black for the Classics Club. Could this be his son? seems like a new translation from this period deserves mention somewhere. I cant discern from internet searches who this person is, due to the similarity of names. I dont think it likely that this articles subject wrote it, considering the copyright date and his death date, but i wouldnt know if he ever did translate this work, as this articles summary of some of his works as the "standard works read in secondary courses" is inappropriate for an encyclopedia, and doesnt say if this is one of those standard works. lets spell these works out, or point to an article that lists them. we arent all classics scholars.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 18:11, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Library catalogs confirm your suspicion that there is a second, younger, Charles E. Bennett, namely Charles Ernest Bennett, born in 1882, who published the Lucretius translation and also an anthology of free translations from Latin poets, Across the Years (1917). They were not father and son, since Charles Ernest's father was Charles Buell Bennett.[1] The records of Cornell's ΦΒΚ chapter list them both as persons who were elected by other chapters but who were at some time members of the Cornell chapter, but that could be coincidence, and I can't find any source for a family relationship. They surely knew each other, as they attended many of the same meetings of the American Philological Association! Wareh (talk) 19:18, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
