Captivating his readers with his vibrant, lyrical prose, he transformed understandings of the earth and space by rethinking nature as the interconnection of global forces. This book argues that style was key to the success of these translations and shows how Humboldt's British translators, now largely forgotten figures, were pivotal in moulding his prose and his public persona as they reconfigured his works for readers in Britain and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePrompts a rethinking of the role of translation in mediating scientific knowledge\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReconsiders how translators shape a scientist's international reputation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDraws on extensive archival material in neglected publishers' archives to shed new light on how authors, their translators and their publishers collaborate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison E.
