This volume revisits Genette's definition of the printed book's
liminal devices, or paratexts, as 'thresholds of interpretation' by
focussing specifically on translations produced in Britain in the
early age of print (1473-1660). At a time when translation played a
major role in shaping English and Scottish literary culture,
paratexts afforded translators and their printers a privileged
space in which to advertise their activities, display their social
and ideological affiliations, influence literary tastes, and
fashion Britain's representations of the cultural 'other'. Written
by an international team of scholars of translation and material
culture, the ten essays in the volume examine the various material
shapes, textual forms, and cultural uses of paratexts as markers
(and makers) of cultural exchange in early modern Britain. The
collection will be of interest to scholars of early modern
translation, print, and literary culture, and, more broadly, to
those studying the material and cultural aspects of text production
and circulation in early modern Europe.
