Abstract:
The Translation Studies Reader provides a definitive survey of the most
important and influential approaches to translation theory and research,
with an emphasis on the developments of the last thirty years. With
introductory essays prefacing each section, the book places a wide range
of seminal and innovative readings within their thematic, cultural and
historical contexts.
This already classic reader has been fully updated and revised. The second
edition:
*includes nine new readings, by authors such as Jerome, Dryden,
Schleiermacher, Derrida, and Mason, some appearing in inventive
retranslations
*provides an historical dimension, with texts from antiquity to present
*represents a wide range of languages, from Arabic to Bengali, Italian to
Russian
*explores the interdisciplinary nature of translation studies through
readings in fields such as literary theory and linguistics, philosophy and
film studies
