This volume provides the first transnational overview of the
relationship between translation and the book trade in early modern
Europe. Following an introduction to the theories and practices of
translation in early modern Europe, and to the role played by
translated books in driving and defining the trade in printed
books, each chapter focuses on a different aspect of
translated-book history - language learning, audience, printing,
marketing, and censorship - across several national traditions.
This study touches on a wide range of early modern figures who
played myriad roles in the book world; many of them also performed
these roles in different countries and languages. Topics treated
include printers' sensitivity to audience demand; paratextual and
typographical techniques for manipulating perception of translated
texts; theories of readership that travelled across borders; and
the complex interactions between foreign-language teachers,
teaching manuals, immigration, diplomacy, and exile.
