This ground-breaking analysis of the cultural trajectory of
England's first colony constitutes a major contribution to
postcolonial studies, offering a template relevant to most cultures
emerging from colonialism. At the same time, these Irish case
studies become the means of interrogating contemporary theories of
translation. Moving authoritatively between literary theory and
linguistics, philosophy and cultural studies, anthropology and
systems theory, the author provides a model for a much needed
integrated approach to translation theory and practice. In the
process, the work of a number of important literary translators is
scrutinized, including such eminent and disparate figures as
Standishn O'Grady, Augusta Gregory and Thomas Kinsella. The
interdependence of the Irish translation movement and the work of
the great 20th century writers of Ireland - including Yeats and
Joyce - becomes clear, expressed for example in the symbiotic
relationship that marks their approach to Irish formalism.
Translation in a Postcolonial Context is essential reading for
anyone interested in translation theory and practice, postcolonial
studies, and Irish literature during the 19th and 20th centuries.
