Product Description

Review

'A 'house of many rooms' is an apt description of the way Translation Studies has evolved in the last thirty years or so. To capture this diversity, an extensive body of comments has grown around the range of issues underpinning the major debates on translation. Jeremy Munday's book responds to the challenge not only of having to provide for the profound plurality now characteristic of the field, but also to present a snapshot of a rapidly developing discipline in a clear, concise and graphic way. This is a book which raises strong awareness of current issues in the field and will be of interest to translation trainers and trainees alike.' - Basil Hatim, Heriot-Watt University, UK


Product Description

This textbook provides an accessible overview of the key contributions to translation theory.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 28 Jun 2009
By L. Bathurst - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Quite infomative about the history of Translation Studies and with lots of detail and references. However, the writing style is dry and overly academic making it frustrating to read and not overly engaging.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lenghty but useful, 28 Oct 2009
By N. Shah "Niz" (Norwich, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book contains a lot of repetition but it does accurately describe several translation theories in an easy-to-understand way. Very useful especially for field-specific terminology.
