This volume extends and deepens our understanding of Translator
Studies by charting new territory in terms of theory, methods and
concepts. The focus is on literary translators, their roles,
identities, and personalities. The book introduces pertinent
translator-centered approaches in four sections:
historical-biographical studies, social-scientific and
process-oriented methods, and approaches that use paratexts or
translations to study literary translators. Drawing on a variety of
concepts, such as identity, role, self, posture, habitus, and
voice, the various chapters showcase forgotten literary translators
and shed new light on some well-known figures; they examine
literary translators not as functioning units but as human beings
in their uniqueness. Literary Translator Studies as a subdiscipline
of Translation Studies demonstrates how exploring the cultural,
social, psychological, and cognitive facets of translatorial
subjects contributes to a holistic understanding of translation.
