This book analyzes the impact of historical, political and
sociocultural contexts on the reading, rewriting and translating of
texts. The authors base their arguments on their experiences of
translating or researching different text types, taking in fiction,
short stories, memoirs, religious texts, scientific treatises, and
news reports from a variety of different languages and cultural
traditions. In doing so they cover a wide range of contexts and
time periods, including Early Modern Europe, post-1848 Switzerland,
nineteenth-century Portugal, Egypt in the early twentieth century
under British colonial rule, Spain under Franco's dictatorship, and
contemporary Peru and China. They also consider the theoretical and
pedagogical implications of their conclusions for translation
students and practitioners. This edited collection will be of great
interest to scholars working in translation studies, applied
linguistics, and on issues of cultural difference.
