Critical Readings in Translation Studies

Mona Baker is Professor of Translation Studies at the University of Manchester, UK.

'This volume represents a much needed break from the canon that currently defines – but also restricts – the scope of translation studies. Read Venuti to see where we have come from; read Baker to see where we are heading.'Stuart Campbell, University of Western Sydney, Australia
