The Translation Studies Reader - Tapa dura

"'There is no other book out there that could fulfil the same function it is both eminently useful and attractively presented it's hard to imagine anyone teaching a course on translation studies without assigning this book to students as a core text.' - Susan Bernofsky, Bard College, New York; 'By far the best book on the market if you want a reader compiled with a view to general representability outstanding.' - Lars Sauerberg, University of Southern Denmark"

The Translation Studies Reader provides a definitive survey of the most important and influential developments in translation theory and research, with an emphasis on twentieth-century developments. With introductory essays prefacing each section, the book places a wide range of seminal and innovative readings within their thematic, cultural and historical contexts.

This second edition of this classic reader has been fully revised and updated. Venuti has also extended the selection to include key pre-twentieth-century texts, adding a historical dimension. Other new readings expand the range of theoretical discourses and practical applications covered, exploring the influence of translation studies beyond its traditional boundaries, in fields such as philosophy, sociology and film studies.
