Review Quotes:
"Translation in Systems has been the reliable companion for those who would like to access a clear, comprehensive and critical account of descriptive and systemic approaches - both foundational theoretical frameworks which have shaped translation studies. Almost two decades on, it deserves its place in the Routledge Translation Classics, and will continue to guide and inspire teachers, students and researchers who are new to the discipline."
Şebnem Susam-Saraeva, Senior Lecturer in Translation Studies, University of Edinburgh, UK
"Hermans gives us an insider testimony and a critical review of the gestation of the basic principles on which the fledgling discipline was built: descriptive rather than prescriptive analysis, a systemic view of literature, and a quest for norms and laws of translation."
Kaisa Koskinen, Professor of Translation Studies, University of Tampere, Finland
