Translation Studies and Practices Comparative and World Literature Language and Culture

Abstract

Abstract Translation is everywhere, and matters to everybody. Translation doesn't only give us foreign news, dubbed films, and instructions for using the microwave: without it, there would be no world religions, and our literatures, our cultures, and our languages would be unrecognizable. Translation: A Very Short Introduction provides an authoritative and thought-provoking account of the field, from ancient Chinese to World English, from St Jerome to Google Translate. It shows how translation determines meaning; how it matters in commerce, empire, conflict, and resistance; and why it is fundamental to literature and the arts.
