Excellent- More about Translation and Modernism: The Art of Co-Creation
This book explores the ethical complexities of translation and modernism, highlighting how modernist translators become co-creators of the materials they translate. It draws on scholarship from various fields to examine translation projects from writers like Beckett, Garnett, Lawrence, Mansfield, and Rhys, with a particular focus on how women's translations and translators were judged more critically than those of their male counterparts.

This groundbreaking volume expands on existing discussions on translation and modernism, shedding light on its ethically intricate and appropriative nature. It delves into the ways in which modernist translators actively participate in the co-creation of the materials they translate. Wittman builds upon existing work in the intersection of these two fields, offering a more dynamic, nuanced, and expansive perspective on translation and modernism. The book draws upon scholarship from various disciplines, including descriptive translation studies, polysystems theory, and literary translation, to explore modernist translators' appropriation of source texts and their ongoing efforts to reimagine equivalence between the source text and the translation.
Chapters in the book focus on translation projects by a diverse range of writers, including Beckett, Garnett, Lawrence, Mansfield, and Rhys. A particular emphasis is placed on examining how women's translations and the contributions of women translators faced heightened scrutiny and criticism compared to their male counterparts. By bringing together these diverse perspectives, the volume offers a fresh and thought-provoking examination of translation and modernism, as well as the role of the modernist translator as a co-creator in the translation process.
This book will appeal to scholars and researchers in translation studies, modernism, reception theory, and gender studies, as it provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of translation and its impact on cultural and literary discourse.
