It presents case studies and theoretical analyses from different chronological periods and focuses on a variety of genres themes and audiences.

The chapters presented here contribute new ideas that help to elucidate both the role of the translator throughout history as well as current practices. Collectively in demonstrating the role that ideology and censorship play in the act of translation the authors help to establish a connection between the past and the present across different genres cultural traditions and audiences.</p><p>The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of <i>Perspectives: Studies in Translation Theory and Practice.</i></p>
