Abstract

The study begins by examining the synergy between creative writing, lexicography and translation in the English Renaissance. It goes on to look in specific detail at how an outstanding creative writer (Rabelais), a compiler of an unsurpassed French-English dictionary (Randle Cotgrave) and a peerless translator (Sir Thomas Urquhart), all three practitioners of verbal copiousness, sparked off each other to create Urquhart's uniquely successful Rabelais translation.
