Translation: Theory and Practice in Dialogue

Rebecca Hyde Parker is a PhD researcher at the University of East Anglia, UK Karla L. Guadarrama Garcia is at the University of East Anglia, UK

"This wide-ranging collection of essays by translation scholars and practioners will give a welcome push to the long-stalled debate in Translation Studies over the relationship between theory and practice. The authors, working in various language pairs and across historical periods, move fluently from concrete example to abstraction, and Kirsten Malmkjoer's powerful call for a philosophy of translation ends the volume with a bang."
