Translation Rewriting and the Manipulation of Literary Fame

<p>One of the first books to shine a light on the broad scope of translation studies,</p><p>this <i>Routledge Translation Classic </i>is widely regarded as a pillar of the discipline.</p><p>Authored by one of the most infl uential translation theorists of the twentieth</p><p>century, <i>Translation, Rewriting, and the Manipulation of Literary Fame </i>shows</p><p>how rewriting – translation, anthologization, historiography, criticism, editing –</p><p>infl uences the reception and canonization of works of literature.</p><p>Firmly placing the production and reception of literature within the wider</p><p>framework of a culture and its history, André Lefevere explores how rewriting</p><p>manipulates works of literature to ideological and artistic ends, and demonstrates</p><p>how rewriting a text can give it a new, sometimes subversive, historical or</p><p>literary status.</p><p>Ranging across various literatures, including Classical Latin, French, and</p><p>German, and here reissued with a new foreword by Scott G. Williams, this is a</p><p>seminal text for all students and specialists in translation studies, literary theory,</p><p>and comparative and world literature.</p> <p>General editors' preface</p><p>Foreword: The afterlife of a book</p><ol> <p> </p> <li>Prewrite</li> <p> </p> <li>The system: patronage</li> <p> </p> <li>The system: poetics</li> <p> </p> <li>Translation: the categories</li> <p> </p> <li>Translation: ideology</li> <p> </p> <li>Translation: poetics</li> <p> </p> <li>Translation: universe of Discourse</li> <p> </p> <li>Translation: language</li> <p> </p> <li>Historiography</li> <p> </p> <li>Anthology</li> <p> </p> <li>Criticism</li> <p> </p> <li>Editing</li> </ol><p>Notes</p><p>References</p><p>Index</p>
