Kirsten Malmkjaer argues that translating can and should be
considered a valuable art form. Examining notions of creativity and
their relationship with translation and focusing on how the
originality of translation is manifest in texts, the author
explores a range of texts and their translations, in order to
illustrate original as opposed to derivative translation. With
reference to thirty translators' discourses on their source texts
and the author's own experience of translating a short text,
Malmkjaer explores the theory of creativity, philosophical
aesthetics, the philosophy of language, experimental and
theoretical translation studies, and translators' discourses on
their work. Showing the relevance of these varied topics to the
study of translating and translations underlines their complexity
and the immensity of understanding that is regularly invested in
translations. This work proposes a complete rethinking of the
concepts of creativity and originality, as applied to translation,
and is vital reading for advanced students and researchers in
translation studies and comparative literature.
