Theories of Translation: An Anthology of Essays from Dryden to Derrida 1st Edition

Rich collection, works well for classes and although there is translation theory that is more recent and more "scientific" (and that has its place), this offers more to the humanities student thinking about translation.

Excellent for traditional translation theories. Good resource with perspectives about translation from many writers who are translated.

This book is a very good idea for people looking for some of the most interesting views on translation. My classes will definitely benefit from it.

I found this text thourough, quotable, rich and exciting. I find it appealing not only because of the famous names talking about translation: Bejamin, Paz, Derrida, Goethe, etc... but also because it covers different historical views on translating - from the 1600 up to date. A great companion to another great translation anothology: "The Translation Studies Reader".
