Toward a translation criticism

John Donne

de Antoine Berman · Publicada por primera vez en 2009

"Francoise Massardier-Kenney's translation of Antoine Berman's Toward a Translation Criticism makes available for the first time in the English-speaking world one of the twentieth century's foundational texts in translation studies. Berman's book, published posthumously in France, develops an original concept of "criticism of translation" and a methodology to anchor the practice of this criticism. He demonstrates how the work of translation is a critical process as well as a creative one." "The translation of Berman's text is accompanied by an introduction placing Berman's thought in its intellectual context and by supplementary notes that complete the bibliographic material presented in the French-language version. This study is essential reading for translation studies scholars and for readers interested in the creative literary process, in the nature of literary criticism, and in the philosophy of language. It will also be of interest to John Donne specialists."--Jacket.
