Lieven D’hulst is Professor of Translation Studies and Francophone Literature and Head of the Research Group Translation and Intercultural Transfer at KU Leuven, Belgium.

A Cultural History of Translation offers a capacious and vivid introduction to translation treated in its own right. Moreover, it highlights the pervasiveness of translational practices in human history and opens up the disciplinary and theoretical treatment of translation beyond its linguistic and textual dimensions.
