Literature In Translation Teaching Issues Reading Practices

de Carol Maier

Books in translation seldom contain introductory information about the mediation that translation implies or the stakes involved in the transfer of cultural information. Literature in Translation: Teaching Issues and Reading Practices squarely addresses this pedagogical lack. The book's sixteen essays provide for instructors a context in which to teach works from a variety of languages and cultures in ways that highlight the effects of linguistic and cultural transfers. --from publisher description
