Rezensionen

"Theo Hermans has written the book we need in the wake of the historiographic boom in Translation Studies and the translational turn in the humanities. Drawing deeply on teaching and research experience, this textbook avoids all pedagogical pedantism and simplified manual-like instructions for research. Instead, it provides inspiration for future researchers to ask decisive questions about the field: how is translation history even possible, what translations can teach us about history, and what historiography has to offer translation research."

Lavinia Heller, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Germany

"A fascinating study of the significant role played by translation in history, particularly in relation to narrative and memory. The book makes a new and innovative contribution to the disciplines of both history and translation studies and provides an invaluable source of material for postgraduate students and established researchers alike."

Judith Inggs, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa
