It's monolingual with two chronologically divergent readings. I'm sure Tim could come up with a better term for exactly how to describe it. Perhaps "monolingual duachronic parallel edition"?
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

The only way to read it is in the original. Most of it is poetry.

I don't associate Penguin Classics with their modern desecrations.

There's much love for the Penguin Classics on my part. It makes my textbooks cost about 10 cents.
