THE ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF TRANSLATION HISTORY

<p><i>The Routledge Handbook of Translation History </i>presents the first comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of this multi-faceted disciplinary area and serves both as an introduction to carrying out research into translation and interpreting history and as a key point of reference for some of its main theoretical and methodological issues, interdisciplinary approaches, and research themes.</p><p>The<em> Handbook</em> brings together 30 eminent international scholars from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds, offering examples of the most innovative research while representing a wide range of approaches, themes, and cultural contexts. The <em> Handbook</em> is divided into four sections: the first looks at some key methodological and theoretical approaches; the second examines some of the key research areas that have developed an interdisciplinary dialogue with translation history; the third looks at translation history from the perspective of specific cultural and religious perspectives; and the fourth offers a selection of case studies on some of the key topics to have emerged in translation and interpreting history over the past 20 years.</p><p>This <em>Handbook</em> is an indispensable resource for students and researchers of translation and interpreting history, translation theory, and related areas.</p> <p><em>List of Figures and Tables</em></p><p><em>Acknowledgements</em></p><p><em>List of Contributors</em></p><p>Introduction: the Historiography of Translation and Interpreting</p><p>PART 1</p><p>Methods and Theories</p><p>1.
