A new piece by Lawrence Venuti suggests future directions for translation

studies.

Lawrence Venuti is Professor of English at Temple University, Philadelphia. He is

the editor of Rethinking Translation: Discourse, Subjectivity, Ideology (1992), and

the author of The Translator’s Invisibility: A History of Translation (1995), The

Scandals of Translation: Towards an Ethics of Difference (1998), all published by

Routledge.

“This is a remarkable selection of the most important twentieth century contributions

to the principles and procedures of translation, but what makes this volume so

valuable are Venuti’s insightful notes that bring these contributions into proper

focus for both students and teachers of translation.”

Eugene Nida, American Bible Society, USA

“Venuti’s Translation Studies Reader reflects all ‘the Misery and the Splendor’

(Ortega y Gasset) of almost a hundred years of translation studies. This book, and

the supplementary readings suggested by Venuti provide (almost) a complete course

of translation studies.”

Hans J.Vermeer, Leopold-Franzens-University, Austria

“This book offers a challenging and stimulating perspective on translation theory

in the twentieth century. Many of the essays included in the collection are seminal

ones, others are exciting, innovative pieces that invite us to reflect again on our

understanding and knowledge of the translation process.”

Susan Bassnett, The University of Warwick, UK
