Explores how Victorian poetry and translation dynamically influenced one another in an age of empire.

Recenzje

'Drury's book is also perforce engaged with political questions about imperial subjugation and the global distribution of power, as expressed in linguistic terms. One of the valuable aspects of Drury's book is its attention not just to Victorian translation practice but also to the theories of translation, implicit and explicit, that were developed and enacted in this era, predominantly in the periodical press.' William A. Cohen, Victorian Literature and Culture
