This is a rich and powerful reference for those interested in language, translation and their evolution. Unfortunately, I lost this book on my travels and did not get to read all of the entries. I made it to Octavio Paz's essay which resonated with me deeply. 'When we learn to speak, we are learning to translate; the child who ask's his mother the meaning of a word is really asking her to translate the unfamiliar term into the simple words he already knows. In this sense, translation within the..more

Humboldt, W. V. (1992). From introduction to his translation of agamemnon. Theories of Translation: An Anthology of Essays from Dryden to Derrida, 55-59.

By Ahmad Al-Khatib P.55 - This work (Aeschylus's Agamemnon) is untranslatable in a way different from other works of great originality. - Experience and research show that no word in one language is completely equivalent to a word in another, apart from those expression designated purely to ph..more
Even though this edition was printed in 1992, I didn't expect to read such dated, sometimes sexist and racist language. I was distracted by it and the fact that not one female theorist was featured.
The Latest Theories Of Translation Pdf
Tedious and pretentious. Not a single female translation expert is represented here. Most essays are philosophical for the sake of being so with little attention paid to the actual process of translation. The theory here is simple common sense to anyone who seriously chooses to undergo the process of literary translation.

holy cow! this book is totally amazing! kind of hilarious that all of these essays about translation are, yes, translated themselves from their original language, isn't it? a total must for those of us who read lots and loads of translated works! of course, the walter benjamin essay is my number one, but each essay is enlightening and so readable.

While imperfect, a useful introduction to a wide variety of influential names and essays in translation.
awesome -- goes all the way back to the Tower of Babel. Why do we translate? What responsibility, if any, does the translator have to the original author and to the reader?

THE OXFORD HISTORY OF LITERARY TRANSLATION IN ENGLISH General Editors: Peter France and Stuart Gillespie This groundbreaking five-volume history runs from the Middle Ages to the year 2000. It is a critical history, treating translations wherever appropriate as literary works in their own right, and reveals the vital part played by translators and translation in shaping the literary culture of the English-speaking world, both for writers and readers. It thus offers new and often challenging perspectives on the history of literature in English. As well as examining the translations and their wider impact, it explores the processes by which they came into being and were disseminated, and provides extensive bibliographical and biographical reference material. In the period covered by Volume 2 comes a drive, unprecedented in its energy and scope, to bring foreign writing of all kinds into English. The humanist scholar depicted in Antonello's St Jerome, the jacket illustration, is one of the figures at work, and one of the most self-conscious and prolonged encounters that took place was with the Bible, a uniquely fraught and intimidating original. But early modern English translation often finds its setting within far busier scenes of worldly life - on the London stage, as a bid for patronage, for purposes polemical, political, hortatory, instructional, and as a way of making a living in the expanding book trade. Translation became, as never before, a part of the English writer's career, and sometimes a whole career in itself. Translation was also fundamental in the evolution of the still unfixed English language and its still unfixed literary styles. Some translations of this period have themselves become landmarks in English literature and have exercised a profound and enduring influence on perceptions of their originals in the anglophone world; others less well-known are treated more comprehensively here than in any previous history. The entire phenomenon is documented in an extensive bibliography of literary translations of the period, the most comprehensive ever compiled. The work of our early modern translators, with all its energy, is not always scholarly or even always convincing. But after this era is over English translation never again feels quite so urgent or contentious.
