The Author-Translator in the European Literary Tradition
The Author-Translator in the European Literary Tradition
Swansea University, 28 June - 1 July 2010
Keynote speakers: Susan Bassnett, David Constantine, Lawrence Venuti
This major international conference seeks to reassess the importance
of translation for European writers – both well-known and less
familiar – from antiquity to the present day. It will explore why
authors translate, what they translate and how they translate, as well
as the links between an author’s translation work and his or her own
writing. There will be almost eighty panels, on topics ranging from
‘Theories of Self-Translation’ and ‘Translation and Creativity’ to
‘Romantic Pseudo-Translation’ and ‘Translating Children’s Literature’.
The conference will thus map out the phenomenon of the
author-translator in Europe on a large scale for the first time.
