This collection of original essays is dedicated to exploring the
intersections between medieval and postcolonial studies. Ranging
across a variety of academic disciplines, from art history to
cartography, and from Anglo-Saxon to Hispanic studies, this volume
highlights the connections between medieval and postcolonial
studies through the exploration of a theme common to both areas of
study: translation as a mechanism of and metaphor for cultures in
contact, confrontation and competition. Drawing upon the widespread
medieval trope of the translation of empire and culture, this
collection engages the concept of translation from its most narrow,
lexicographic sense, to the broader applications of its literal
meaning, to carry across. It carries the multilingual,
multicultural realities of medieval studies to postcolonial
analyses of the coercive and subversive powers of cultural
translation, offering a set of case studies of translation as the
transfer of language, culture and power.
