BrewerFormat: HardbackRelease Date: 08/03/1989Description: These studies of the theory and practice of translation in the middle ages show a wide range of translational practices, on texts which range from anonymous Middle English romances and Biblical commentaries to the writings of Usk,Chaucer and Malory. Included among them is a paper on a hitherto unknown woman translator, Dame Eleanor Hull; a paper which compares a draft translation with its fair copy to show how its translator worked; a paper which shows how the mystic Rolle sought to "translate" his heightened spiritual experiences into words; and so on. In a medieval translation the general priority of meaning over form and style enabled, even obliged, the translator to act more like an author than like a scribe. Consequently, the study of medieval translation throws important light on contemporary, attitudes to, and understandings of, fundamental literary questions: for example, and most importantly, that of the role of the author.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmContributor: Roger Ellis (Edited by), Alexandra Barratt (Contributions by), Anne Savage (Contributions by), Catherine Batt (Contributions by), Ian Johnson (Contributions by), J D Burnley (Contributions by), Nicholas Watson (Contributions by), Roger Ellis (Contributions by), Rosalind Field (Contributions by), Stephen Medcalf (Contributions by), Steven H A Shepherd (Contributions by), Tim W Machan (Contributions by)Genre: Literary CriticismAuthor: Roger EllisTopic: Language & ReferenceItem Weight: 488gRelease Year: 1989 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
