Overview
The essays in Retranslating Joyce for the 21st Century straddle the disciplines of Joyce studies, translation studies, and translation theory. The newest scholarly developments in these fields are well reflected in recent retranslations of Joyce’s works into Italian, Portuguese, French, Hungarian, Dutch, Turkish, German, South Slavic, and many other languages. Joyce critics and Joyce translators offer multi-angled critical attention to the issues of translation and retranslation, enhanced by their diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds and innovative methodologies. Because retranslations of Joyce have also exerted significant influence on target language cultures, students and readers of Joyce and, more broadly, of modernist and world literature, will find this book highly relevant to their appreciation of literature in translation.

Reviews
[...] the collection makes available an impressive range of resources by combining scholarly articles and essays by translators who are both extremely valuable in themselves and mutually illuminating. [...] Ultimately, Retranslating Joyce for the 21st Century provides a renewed and reinvigorated context for the discussion of how Joyce's inexhaustible richness of meaning and textual complexity may be revisited and regained in (re)translation. - M. Teresa Caneda-Cabrera, University of Vigo Spain, in James Joyce Quarterly Vol. 58.4 2021 pp. 577-581 The volume [...] is a treasure trove of multilingual riches, and its multifarious reflections on the practice of Joycean retranslation in multiple languages will undoubtedly prove to be of lasting value both to translation theorists and to practising translators - not to mention the ever-increasing number of Joyce's readers whose interest is not limited to the English texts of his writings. - Patrick O'Neill, Queen's University Canada, in Translation Studies Vol. 15.1 2022 pp. 100-102

Fischer, University of Galway, in The Year’s Work in English Studies, Volume 101 (2022), pp. 1011
