{"product_id":"celebrity-translation-in-british-theatre-robert-stock-9781350199132","title":"Celebrity Translation in British Theatre: Relevance and Reception, Voice and Visibility","description":"This book explores the impact that high-profile and well-known translators have on audience reception of translated theatre. Using Relevance Theory as a framework, the book demonstrates how prior knowledge of a celebrity translator's contextual background can affect the spectator's cognitive state and influence their interpretation of the play.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThree canonical plays adapted for the British stage are analysed: Mark Ravenhill's translation of \u003ci\u003eLife of Galileo\u003c\/i\u003e by Bertolt Brecht, Roger McGough's translation of \u003ci\u003eTartuffe\u003c\/i\u003e by Moli鑽e and Simon Stephens' translation of \u003ci\u003eA Doll's House\u003c\/i\u003e by Henrik Ibsen. Drawing on interviews, audience feedback, reviews, blogs and social media posts, Stock examines the extent to which audiences infer the celebrity translator's own voice from their translations. In doing so, he adds new perspectives to the long-standing debate on the visibility of the translator in both the process of translating and the reception of the translation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCelebrity Translation in British Theatre\u003c\/i\u003e offers an original approach to theatre translation that sheds light on the culture of celebrity and its capacity to attract new audiences to plays in translation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Stock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350199133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350199132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.51d","brand":"Robert Stock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44450282930431,"sku":"9781350199132","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82376cf5-4233-41aa-9367-c204dcf06562.jpg?v=1698503909","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/celebrity-translation-in-british-theatre-robert-stock-9781350199132","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
