Abstract:

While the sociology of literary translation is well-established, and even
flourishing, the same cannot be said for the sociology of poetry translation.
"Sociologies of Poetry Translation" features scholars who address poetry
translation from sociological perspectives in order to catalyze new methods of
investigating poetry translation. This book makes the case for a move from the
singular 'sociology of poetry translation' to the pluralist 'sociologies', in
order to account for the rich variety of approaches that are currently
emerging to deal with poetry translation. It also aims to bridge the gap
between the 'cultural turn' and the 'sociological turn' in Translation
Studies, with the range of contributions showcasing the rich diversity of
approaches to analysing poetry translation from socio-cultural,
socio-historical, socio-political and micro-social perspectives. 

Contributors draw on theorists including Pierre Bourdieu and Niklas Luhmann
and assess poetry translation from and/or into Catalan, Czech, English,
French, German, Italian, Russian, Slovakian, Spanish, Swahili and Swedish. A
wide range of topics are featured in the book including: trends in poetry
translation in the modern global book market; the commissioning and publishing
of poetry translations in the United States of America; modern
English-language translations of Dante; women poet-translators in mid-19th
century Ireland; translations of Russian poetry anthologies into modern
English; the translation of Shakespeare's plays and sonnets in post-colonial
Tanzania and socialist Czechoslovakia; translations and translators of Italian
poetry into 20th and 21st century Sweden; modern European poet-translators;
and collaborative writing between prominent English and Spanish
poet-translators.
