Abstract:

This volume explores the translation of literary and humorous style, 
including comedy, irony, satire, parody and the grotesque, from Italian 
to English and vice versa. The innovative and interdisciplinary theoretical 
approach places the focus on creativity and playful rewriting as central 
to the translation of humour. Analysing translations of works by Rosa 
Cappiello, Dario Fo, Will Self and Anthony Burgess, the author explores 
literary translation as a form of exchange between translated and 
receiving cultures. In a final case study she recounts her own strategies 
in translating the work of Milena Agus, exploring humour, creation and 
recreation from the perspective of the translator and demonstrating the 
benefits of critical engagement with both the theory and the practice of 
translation. This unique contribution to the study of humour and literary 
style in translation will be of interest to scholars of translation, humour, 
comparative literature, and literary and cultural studies.
