Eschewing a dogmatic, theoretical approach, the contributors (former colleagues and students) tackle four rich areas of study: modern anglophone poets' reactions to, and translations of, authors with whom they have closely identified (Racine, the Symbolists, Saint-John Perse, Valéry); problematics of translating specific poets of recent centuries (Rimbaud, Mallarmé, Valéry, Césaire, some contemporary poets); reception and interaction in two foreign countries (Australia, Spain); and a more fluid interpretation of translation, moving the notion across into wider realms of literary expression (Mallarmé, Proust, Assia Djebar). A focalising feature, punctuating the volume, are Peter Broome's own translations of hitherto unpublished poems by five major contemporary French writers: Jean-Paul Auxeméry, Marie-Claire Bancquart, Louise Herlin, Vénus Khoury-Ghata and Jean-Charles Vegliante. The book thus intertwines theory and practice in a non-prescriptive manner which invites further elaboration and analysis.","brand":"Verlag Peter Lang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043710304599,"sku":"9783039102952","price":49.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/challenges-of-translation-in-french-literature-studies-and-poems-in-honour-of-peter-broome-9783039102952","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
