The Age of Translation is the first English translation of Antoine
Berman's commentary on Walter Benjamin's seminal essay 'The Task of
the Translator'. Chantal Wright's translation includes an
introduction which positions the text in relation to current
developments in translation studies, and provides prefatory
explanations before each section as a guide to Walter Benjamin's
ideas. These include influential concepts such as the 'afterlife'
of literary works, the 'kinship' of languages, and the metaphysical
notion of 'pure language'. The Age of Translation is a vital read
for students and scholars in the fields of translation studies,
literary studies, cultural studies and philosophy.
