About this book
Divided into three sections, these illuminating analyses also address broad themes including translation style, the author-translator-reader relationship, and relationships between national identity and literary translation. The case studies are drawn from languages and language varieties, such as Catalan, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Nigerian English, Russian, Spanish, Scottish English and Turkish. The editors provide thorough introductory and concluding chapters, which highlight the value of case study research, and explore in detail the importance ofthe theory-practice link.
Covering a wide range of topics, perspectives, methods, languages and geographies, this handbook will provide a valuable resource for researchers not only in Translation Studies, but also in the related fields of Linguistics, Languages and Cultural Studies, Stylistics, Comparative Literature or Literary Studies.
Reviews
“This handbook will be an indispensable resource for established researchers and students alike, establishing case studies as a methodological framework which can accommodate the variety of theories and models typical of the interdisciplinary research in Translation Studies. In-depth analyses by experts in the field address aspects of literary translation from poetry to crime fiction, sacred texts to activists while exemplifying case studies methodologies and providing a rich resource for future research. A rigorous and inspiring tour de force.” (Karen Seago, City, University of London, UK)
