Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am an expert on Cervantes (former editor of the journal of the Cervantes Society of America) and I have had quite some time finding out which translation it is, since it doesn't say. It is the translation of Charles Jarvis, simultaneously published in the U.S., and as he says, he is primarily relying on Motteux,. A better choice, also free, is the translation of John Ormsby (1885), which is available from Project Gutenberg. The introductions of both were good for their day, but a lot has happened in Cervantine studies and biography since then. John Ormsby's translation was revised with backgrounds and sources, criticism by Joseph Ramon Jones; Kenneth Douglas and published by W.W. Norton in 1981. It is out of print, and I personally would prefer it to the new Norton translation. Used copies are available on Amazon for 50 cents.
