Translation and World Literature cover

Translation and World Literature offers a variety of international perspectives on the complex role of translation in the dissemination of literatures around the world. Eleven chapters written by multilingual scholars explore issues and themes as diverse as the geopolitics of translation, cosmopolitanism, changing media environments and transdisciplinarity. This book locates translation firmly within current debates about the transcultural movements of texts and challenges the hegemony of English in world literature. Translation and World Literature is an indispensable resource for students and scholars working in the fields of translation studies, comparative literature and world literature.

'Susan Bassnett, a pioneer in Translation Studies, eloquently defines the relationship between Translation Studies and World Literature as "rocky". This timely book, that could not be edited by a better qualified scholar, examines this relationship with a rich and varied range of contributions. A milestone for future discussions.' Siri Nergaard, University of Bologna, Italy
