The wonderful richness and complexity of Don Quixote inspired many authors to accept the seemingly impossible challenge of translating it into their own language and making it available to a wider circle of readers. Indeed, some of these translators were so wildly successful that they managed to turn Cervantes' work into one of the most read books in 18th century England. It is also curious to note that many of the translators worked almost simultaneously on their own rendering of the novel and, as a result, a number of different Don Quixotes would be published in a quick succession. The readership would be satisfied for a while, and then another flurry of Don Quixotes would appear again.
