Description
This varied collection of essays represents the differing strands of work currently being undertaken in the exciting new field of Translation Studies and reflects a shift of emphasis away from a more descriptive form of translation towards the idea that translation occupies a seminal position in the devlopment of culture. Susan Bassnett is Director of the Centre for British Comparative Cultural Studies at the University of Warwick. Andre Lefevere is Professor of Germanic Philology at the University of Texas at Austin.
