It moves beyond purely linguistic analysis to explore how the act of translation is fundamentally a process of cultural negotiation. Drawing on a wide range of case studies, the contributors examine the practical difficulties of translating diverse literary forms, including poetry, drama, and prose. They tackle specific problems such as rendering dialect, humor, and culturally-specific references (realia) into a new linguistic and cultural context. The work serves as a practical resource for advanced students, scholars, and professional translators, offering detailed analyses of translation problems and their potential solutions. -- "This cutting-edge collection, born of a belief in the value of approaching 'translation' in a wide range of ways, contains essays of interest to students and scholars of translation, literary and textual studies. It provides insights into the relations between translation and comparative literature, contrastive linguistics, cultural studies, painting and other media." -- Contents: Editors' Preface; Introduction / Manfred Pfister; -- Language as Means: -- The European Lending Library: Borrowing, Translating, and Returning Texts / Lynne Long; Translating Intensifiers: (Non-)Equivalences Across English and Italian / Silvia Cacchiani; The Coining of Italian Phraseological Units Through the Translation of Analogous English Phrases / Stephen Coffey; Difficulty of Slang Translation / Elisa Mattiello; Translating Humour: The Case of Stefano Benni / Monica Boria; Translating Characterization: Dario Fo's Morte accidentale Travels to Britain / Sonia Cunico; Translating 'America' in 90s Italian Fiction / Kate Litherland; -- Culture as Target: -- La Bible d'Amiens: Translation and Transformation / Emily Eells; Translating Desire: Ovid and Three Romantic Poets / Philip Shaw; 'She Rises Anew in my Words': Translating Sainthood in Michèle Roberts's Impossible Saints / Luanda Stannard; -- Languages of Culture -- Playing Around Cultural Faultlines: The Impact of Modern Translations for the Stage on Perceptions of Ancient Greek Drama / Lorna Hardwick; John/Giovanni Florio: The Translator as Go-Between / Manfred Pfister; 'Paring His Fingernails'?
