Summary:

Books in translation seldom contain introductory information about the mediation that translation implies or the stakes involved in the transfer of cultural information. Literature in Translation: Teaching Issues and Reading Practices squarely addresses this pedagogical lack. The book's sixteen essays provide for instructors a context in which to teach works from a variety of languages and cultures in ways that highlight the effects of linguistic and cultural transfers. --from publisher description.
