Translation and Modernism
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-54164-4 (ISBN)
Wittman builds on existing work at the intersection of the two fields to offer a more dynamic, nuanced, and wider lens on translation and modernism. The book draws on scholarship from descriptive translation studies, polysystems theory, and literary translation to explore modernist translators’ appropriation of source texts and their continuous recalibrations of equivalence between source text and translation. Chapters focus on translation projects from a range of writers, including Beckett, Garnett, Lawrence, Mansfield, and Rhys, with a particular spotlight on how women’s translations and women translators’ innovations were judged more critically than those of their male counterparts. Taken together, the volume puts forth a fresh perspective on translation and modernism and of the role of the modernist translator as co-creator in the translation process.
This book will be of particular interest to scholars in translation studies, modernism, reception theory, and gender studies.
Emily O. Wittman is Professor of English at the University of Alabama, USA,and has published many books, co-edited collections and numerous book chapters and articles.
