There is strong international interest; the play is translated into English, it is adapted, and it is not performed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCensoring Translation\u003c\/i\u003e questions the role of textual translation practices in shaping the circulation and reception of foreign censored theatre. It examines three forms of censorship in relation to translation: ideological censorship; gender censorship; and market censorship. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis examination of censorship is informed by extensive archival evidence from the previously unseen archives of V當lav Havel's main theatre translator, Vera Blackwell, which includes drafts of playscripts, legal negotiations, reviews, interviews, notes and previously unseen correspondence over thirty years with Havel and central figures of the theatre world, such as Kenneth Tynan, Martin Esslin, and Tom Stoppard. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMichelle Woods uses this previously unresearched archive to explore broader questions on censorship, asking why texts are translated at a given time, who translates them, how their identity may affect the translation, and how the constituents of success in a target culture may involve elements of censorship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michelle Woods\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441100571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441100573\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 05\/10\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Michelle Woods","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935033491711,"sku":"9781441100573","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8a42b87f-c60e-45fc-9caf-369e1c30a644.jpg?v=1681417464","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/censoring-translation-michelle-woods-9781441100573","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
