This collection surveys the state of the art of computer-assisted
literary translation (CALT), making the case for its potential to
enhance literary translation research and practice. The volume
brings together early career and established scholars from around
the world in countering prevailing notions around the challenges of
effectively implementing contemporary CALT applications in literary
translation practice, which has traditionally followed the model of
a single translator focused on a single work. The book begins by
addressing key questions on the definition of literary translation,
examining its sociological dimensions and individual translator
perspective. Chapters explore the affordances of technological
advancements and availability of new tools in such areas as
post-edited machine translation (PEMT) in expanding the boundaries
of what we think of when we think of literary translation, looking
to examples from developments in co-translation, collaborative
translation, crowd-sourced translation, and fan translation. As the
first book of its kind dedicated to the contribution CALT in its
various forms can add to existing and future scholarship, this
volume will be of interest to students and scholars in Translation
Studies, especially those working in literary translation, machine
translation, and translation technologies.

'Neither spoke another word, they were gripped by a shared,
unthinking madness as they plunged headlong together into
vertiginous rapture.' Orphaned with a substantial inheritance at
the age of ten, Pauline Quenu is taken from Paris to live with her
relatives, Monsieur and Madame Chanteau and their son Lazare, in
the village of Bonneville on the wild Normandy coast. Her presence
enlivens the household and Pauline is the only one who can ease
Chanteau's gout-ridden agony. Her love of life contrasts with the
insularity and pessimism that infects the family, especially
Lazare, for whom she develops a devoted passion. Gradually Madame
Chanteau starts to take advantage of Pauline's generous nature, and
jealousy and resentment threaten to blight all their lives. The
arrival of a pretty family friend, Louise, brings tensions to a
head. The twelfth novel in the Rougon Macquart series, The Bright
Side of Life is remarkable for its depiction of intense emotions
and physical and mental suffering. The precarious location of
Bonneville and the changing moods of the sea mirror the turbulent
relations of the characters, and as the story unfolds its title
comes to seem ever more ironic.

Therese Raquin is a clinically observed, sinister tale of adultery
and murder among the lower classes in nineteenth-century Paris.
Zola's dispassionate dissection of the motivations of his
characters, mere human beasts' who kill in order to satisfy their
lust, is much more than an atmospheric Second Empire period-piece.
Many readers were scandalized by an approach to character-drawing
which seemed to undermine not only the moral values of a deeply
conservative society, but also the whole code of psychological
description on which the realist novel was based.
Together with the important Preface to the Second Edition' in which
Zola defended himself against charges of immorality, Therese Raquin
stands as a key early manifesto of the French Naturalist movement,
of which Zola was the founding father. Even today, this novel has
lost none of its power to shock.
This new translation is based on the second edition of 1868. The
Introduction situates the novel in the context of Naturalism,
medicine, and the scientific ideas of Zola's day.
