Translating Ancient Greek Drama in Early Modern Europe: Theory and Practice (15t

Description: Translating Ancient Greek Drama in Early Modern Europe by Malika Bastin-Hammou, Giovanna Di Martino, Cécile Dudouyt, Lucy C.M.M. Jackson This book brings together insights from Classics, Reception and Translation Studies to outline the European dimension of an initial push to translate Greek drama into Latin and the vernaculars (1450-1600). Beside analysing landmark translations, t FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The volume brings together contributions on 15th and 16th century translation throughout Europe (in particular Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, and England).Whilst studies of the reception of ancient Greek drama in this period have generally focused on one national tradition, this book widens the geographical and linguistic scope so as to approach it as a European phenomenon. Latin translations are particularly emblematic of this broader scope: translators from all over Europe latinised Greek drama and, as they did so, developed networks of translators and practices of translation that could transcend national borders. The chapters collected here demonstrate that translation theory and practice did not develop in national isolation, but were part of a larger European phenomenon, nourished by common references to Biblical and Greco-Roman antiquities, and honed by common religious and scholarly controversies. In addition to situating these texts in the wider context of the reception of Greek drama in the early modern period, this volume opens avenues for theoretical debate about translation practices and discourses on translation, and on how they map on to twenty-first-century terminology.
