Translation is the theme explored here through eighteen varied essays by scholars from Great Britain, France, Greece, Ireland, the Netherlands, Spain, South Africa, and the United States of America. Literary texts, film, dance, and drama from the Greek classics, Chaucer, Shakespeare, and the Bible to Kenneth MacMillan, Tolkien, and Tony Harrison are considered alongside questions of language and kind, translation theory, ideology, and cultural politics. Diverse disciplines are invoked, in a volume as eclectic and adventurous as its challenging subject.
