Reviews

This is the first volume to attempt such a historical study of translation. The variety of works examined and Lathey's readable style make the book an excellent introduction to the often-overlooked role of translators and a solid foundational work for future scholarship in this area. Highly recommended. --aP. J. Kurtz, Minot State University, Choice, January 2011

Highly recommended. -- P. J. Kurtz, Minot State University, Choice, January 2011 A welcome contribution to the field. - Gaby Thomson-Wohlgemuth, Journal of the British Section of the International Board of Books for Young People Lathey's book is an important first step and it fills a gap in the field of translation studies. One can only hope that soon there will be such books for other languages/cultures as well, and that other researchers will continue the task Lathey has begun. - B.J. Epstein, University of East Anglia, UK
