Contemporary translation studies have explored translation not as a
means of recovering a source text, but as a process of
interpretation and production of literary meaning and value.
Translation and the Classic uses this idea to discuss the
relationship between translation and the classic text. It proposes
a framework in which 'the classic' figures less as an autonomous
entity than as the result of the interplay between source text and
translation practice and examines the consequences of this
hypothesis for questioning established definitions of the classic:
how does translation mediate the social, political and national
uses of 'the classics' in the contemporary global context of
changing canons and traditions? The volume contains a total of
eighteen original essays, plus an introduction, written by scholars
working in classics and classical reception, translation studies,
literary theory, comparative literature, theatre and performance
studies, history and philosophy and makes a potent contribution to
pressing debates in all of these areas.
