This book, the first of its kind for an English-language audience,
introduces a fresh perspective on the Polish literary translation
landscape, providing unique insights into the social, political,
and ideological underpinnings of Polish translation history.
Employing a problem-based approach, the book creates a map of
different research directions in the history of literary
translation in Poland, highlighting a holistic perspective on the
discipline's development in the region. The four sections explore
topics of particular interest in current translation research,
including translation and cultural borderlands, the agency of women
translators, translators as intercultural mediators, and the
intersection of translation research and digital methods. The 15
contributions demonstrate the ways in which Polish culture has
represented translated work in its own way, informed and shaped by
socio-political changes in Polish history. At the same time, the
volume situates Polish research in translation within the growing
body of work on Central and Eastern European translation studies,
as well as looking at them against the backdrop of the
international development of the discipline. This collection offers
a valuable addition to existing research on Western literary
canons, making it key reading for scholars in translation studies,
comparative literature, cultural studies, and Slavonic studies.
