Opis

The essays in this edited collection offer a representative sample of the descriptive and systematic approach to the study of literary translation. This book is a reflection of the theoretical thinking and practical research carried out by an international group of scholars who share a common standpoint. They argue the need for a rigorous scientific approach the phenomena of translation - one of the most significant branches of comparative literature - and regard it as essential to link the study of particular translated texts with a broader methodological position.
