Reviews

The research path adopted in this book has important methodological implications for the interdisciplinary study of translation. * Target: International Journal of Translation Studies * There is much to be learned by making the city a focus of translation research. This exciting and pioneering volume shows the potential of nineteenth century cities to reveal the complexities of multilingual conversations in courtrooms, offices, streets and harbours. These practices confound an easy reliance on nationalist models of historiography, exposing rather an array of resistant local realities. * Sherry Simon, Professor of French Studies, Concordia University, Canada * Translating in Town is a relevant contribution to Translation Studies that brings together the two subfields of Translation History and Translation Policy. Methodologically, the individual authors' reliance on archival work is to be commended, and substantively, their insights will no doubt prove worthwhile to future researchers. * Gabriel Gonzalez Nunez, Assistant Professor of Translation & Interpreting, The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, USA *
