Reviews

""This is a brilliant historical study of the often-overlooked category of professional translators. It skillfully and rigorously weaves together insights from sociology, book history, and translator studies into a compelling narrative that will become a landmark in the history of professional translation, extending far beyond the French context."" - Lieven D'Hulst, University KU Leuven, Belgium
