Reviews
[This book] offer[s] a groundbreaking examination of Poe's afterlife abroad. It is, of course, a study of Poe translation and translators, but it also goes much further using translation to illuminate the reception, interpretation, and influence of Poe's work...Overall, this collection moves forward our understanding of the world-writer status of Edgar Poe in powerful and innovative ways. The Edgar Allen Poe Review Translated Poe [is] a collection of critical studies that must be considered as the most serious attempt to put in context both translations of Poe's oeuvre and their impact on national literatures...Translated Poe is not only an ambitious book within Poe studies, but a milestone in translation studies partly thanks to the worldwide projection of the American author. It should also be considered an outstanding project for its multi-perspective analyses of translations of the fiction and poetry of one of America's most acclaimed authors...The edition is almost impeccable and all chapters are read with great interest and enjoyment. In short, it seems fitting to acknowledge that Margarida Vale de Gato and Emron Esplin have successfully achieved a pioneering volume thanks to their ability to combine experts in the Poe tradition from different nationalities and accomplished translators of the American author in a great variety of languages. The volume may not only be considered a continuation of Poe Abroad, as its scope goes further beyond that of Vines' book, but a groundbreaking contribution which may soon become a landmark in Poe studies.

The volume may not only be considered a continuation of Poe Abroad, as its scope goes further beyond that of Vines' book, but a groundbreaking contribution which may soon become a landmark in Poe studies. International Journal of English Studies Translated Poe, however, is an extremely important study that fully adapts and concretizes this approach. Thirty one esteemed academicians who are deeply involved in literature and translation (studies) from all comers of the world, contributed to this study. Translated Poe gives sight into how the works of the poet, short story writer and literary critic Edgar Allan Poe as being one of the most significant literary figures in the 19th century have shaped literatures in nineteen different countries and also how his image has been shaped in those places... The transformations driven by literary translation activities in the national literary polysystems are worth examining and illuminating in the light of translation theories. Such studies are of great importance to reveal the affiliation and interaction between literature and translation (studies) with the help of concrete examples. Thus Translated Poe fills the gap in those discussions and serves as a model for future studies. The study not only appeals to translation scholars, translation critics, students at translation departments or the ones who are in some way involved in the field but also literary scholars, critics and students of philology departments together with Poe lovers.
