Product Description
This definitive collection is the first comprehensive reader on the fast-growing field of translation studies. Concentrating on the twentieth century, with a particular focus on the past thirty years, Lawrence Venuti has chosen a wide range of readings on translation, placing each selection within its social, thematic, and historical context. The Reader is divided into five chronological sections, with each section prefaced by an introductory essay, a detailed bibliography and suggestions for further reading. The Reader also features a new essay by Lawrence Venuti on the future of Translation Studies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extra-ordinary!, July 4, 2001
By E. Merino "lamoira" (Mexico City, D.F. Mexico) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book covers Translation Studies from an historical outset, laid out decade by decade. My surprise was that it did not focus only on mainstream translators, but that it also accentuates on less covered topics by other "anothologies" - such as femenist and postmodernist grounds of thought. I recomend it to all translators seeking a broad spectrum of views in a neat cronological order.
