Publisher: St. Jerome Publishing Ltd.

Abstract:

We are currently in the middle of a translation studies boom: all
around the world new programmes are springing up, some aimed at the
professional training of translators and interpreters, others at the
academic study of translation and interpreting, most at both. Where
did this academic discipline come from? What is its intellectual
pedigree?

In Western Translation Theory from Herodotus to Nietzsche Douglas
Robinson offers the most comprehensive collection of translation
theory readings available to date, from the Histories of Herodotus in
the mid-fifth century before our era to the end of the nineteenth
century. The result is a startling panoply of thinking about
translation across the centuries, covering such topics as the best
type of translator, problems of translating sacred texts, translation
and language teaching, translation as rhetoric, translation and
empire, and translation and gender.

This pioneering anthology contains 124 texts by 90 authors, 9 of them
women. Sixteen texts by 14 authors appear here for the first time in
English translation; 17 texts by 9 authors appear in completely new
translations. Every entry is provided with a biographical headnote and
footnotes.

Intended for classroom use in History of Translation Theory, History
of Rhetoric or History of Western Thought courses, this anthology will
also prove useful to scholars of translation and those interested in
the intellectual history of the West.

Douglas Robinson is associate professor of English at the University
of Mississippi. He is author of The Translator's Turn, Translation and
Taboo, What Is Translation? and has a forthcoming volume, Translation
and Empire, in the St. Jerome series 'Translation Theories
Explained'. A freelance translator of literary, scholarly, and
technical texts between Finnish and English since 1975, he was
formerly associate professor of Finnish­English translation theory
and practice at the University of Tampere, Finland, and is past
president of the Finnish­American Translators Association.
