Literary Translation

Routledge Translation Guides cover the key text types and genres of translation and equip translators and students of translation with the skills needed to translate them.

Literary Translation will introduce students to the components of the discipline and model the practice. Students using this guide will become familiar with:

• The relevant translation theory, methodology and ideology

• How to read and critique literary translations

• How to analyse a source text in order to produce a literary translation and how to develop a stylistic toolkit

• How to go about getting published

Including examples from existing translations and original materials, each chapter will provide activities and further reading suggestions and the guide concludes with a glossary of key terms in literary translation.

This is an essential guidebook for all students of literary translation within advanced undergraduate and postgraduate/graduate programmes in translation studies, comparative literature and modern languages.
