Matthiessen's famous description of translation as \"an Elizabethan art\", Elizabethan literature may well be considered \"an art of translation \". Amidst a climate of intense intercultural and intertextual exchange, the cultural figure of \u003cem\u003etranslatio studii \u003c\/em\u003ehad become a formative concept in most European vernacular writing of the period. However, due to the comparatively marginal status of English in European literary culture, it was above all translation in the literal sense that became the dominant mode of applying this concept in late 16th-century England. Translations into English were not only produced on an unprecedented scale, they also became a key site for critical debate where contemporary discussions about authorship, style, and the development of a specifically English literary identity converged. The essays in this volume set out to explore Elizabethan translation as a literary practice and as a crucial influence on English literature. They analyse the competitive balancing of voices and authorities found in these texts and examine the ways in which both translated models and English literary culture were creatively transformed in the process of appropriation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gabriela Schmidt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110293021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110293029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.94d","brand":"Gabriela Schmidt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125942939903,"sku":"9783110293029","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21a0dc32-8908-47ae-999d-d9ecacf9fdf6.jpg?v=1687445435","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/elizabethan-translation-and-literary-culture-gabriela-schmidt-9783110293029","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
