Description: This collection of essays is a milestone in the establishment of translation theory within the field of Russian literature and culture, an area that has been neglected in the Anglophone world. The volume is defined by the contributors' insistence that translation should be viewed as the accommodation of a new text within the host culture.
Review Quotes: 'The Art of Accomodation' should be in every academic library, and every scholar of translation in and of Russian, as well as thoughtful students and scholars of Russian literature, will want to refer to it. (Sibelan Forrester, The Russian Review 73, 2013/2)
