The essays in Writing between the Lines explore the lives of twelve
of Canada's most eminent anglophone literary translators, and delve
into how these individuals have contributed to the valuable process
of literary exchange between francophone and anglophone literatures
in Canada. Through individual portraits, this book traces the
events and life experiences that have led W.H. Blake, John Glassco,
Philip Stratford, Joyce Marshall, Patricia Claxton, Doug Jones,
Sheila Fischman, Ray Ellenwood, Barbara Godard, Susanne de
Lotbinire-Harwood, John Van Burek, and Linda Gaboriau into the
complex world of literary translation. Each essay-portrait examines
why they chose to translate and what linguistic and cultural
challenges they have faced in the practice of their art. Following
their relationships with authors and publishers, the translators
also reveal how they have defined the goals and the process of
literary translation. Containing original, detailed biographical
and bibliographical material, Writing between the Lines offers many
new insights into the literary translation process, and the diverse
roles of the translator as social agent. The first text on Canadian
translators, it makes a major contribution in the areas of literary
translation, comparative literature, Canadian literature, and
cultural studies.
