Reviews

Exploring the dark side of translation turns out to be remarkably illuminating. The voyage into the negative confronts head-on a cluster of ideas that have remained vague and underdeveloped until now. Reflection on translation will be all the richer after this thoughtful and incisive volume. Sherry Simon, Concordia University, Canada This provocative collection of essays challenges easy assumptions about translation. The multi-disciplinary authors investigate in different ways what lies below the surface of translations, showing how translators excavate and bring to light aspects of texts that are both verbal and non-verbal. This is an exciting book. Susan Bassnett, University of Warwick, UK
