Reviews

Douglas Robinson ... has rendered a great service to all those interested in translation theory, both as a fundamentally linguistic construct and as a Western socio-cultural phenomenon. (K. Lloyd-Jones, International Journal of the Classical Tradition) Every translator should dip into it and sample our professional discipline in its historical persective. (Ronald Sim, Notes on Translation) ... bound to become the major anthology in English ... a splendid achievement. (Theo Hermans, Translation and Literature)
