Susan Bassnett,

This review is from: Translation Studies (New Accents) (Paperback)
This is a great book for those who have read several theory books and authors as: Cicero, Dryden, Nida, Baker, Snell-Hornby... Otherwise you will not understand anything, like I did or didn't... Too much information crammed together, to many names and numbers for my taste.
