Description:
The Routledge Handbook of the History of Translation Studies is an exploration of the history of translation and interpreting studies (TIS) as a field of intellectual enquiry.
Review Quotes:
"This Handbook is a much-needed response to calls for more comprehensive historical and global reflections on the origins and emergence of translation and interpreting studies (TIS). It is structured into three main parts focusing on the intellectual history of thinking on translation, historical reconstruction of the development of translation and interpreting studies, and on the evolution of its central concepts. Through this historical and thematical approach, the volume both challenges and elaborates the origins of the dominant Western perspectives and adds to our understanding about the historical and cultural relativity of its key concepts. This book is a valuable resource for all students and researchers in the interdiscipline."
