In recent years the twin themes of travel and translation have come
to be regarded as particularly significant to the study of early
modern culture and literature. Traditional notions of 'The
Renaissance' have always emphasised the importance of the influence
of continental, as well as classical, literature on English writers
of the period; and over the past twenty years or so this emphasis
has been deepened by the use of more complicated and sophisticated
theories of literary and cultural intertextuality, as well as
broadened to cover areas such as religious and political relations,
trade and traffic, and the larger formations of colonialism and
imperialism. The essays collected here address the full range of
traditional and contemporary issues, providing new light on
canonical authors from More to Shakespeare, and also directing
critical attention to many unfamiliar texts which need to be better
known for our fuller understanding of sixteenth-century English
literature. This volume makes a very particular contribution to
current thinking on Anglo-continental literary relations in the
sixteenth century. Maintaining a breadth and balance of concerns
and approaches, Travels and Translations in the Sixteenth Century
represents the academic throughout Europe: essays are contributed
by scholars working in Hungary, Greece, Italy, and France, as well
as in the UK. Arthur Kinney's introduction to the collection
provides an North American overview of what is perhaps a uniquely
comprehensive index to contemporary European criticism and
scholarship in the area of early modern travel and translation.
