Features: Douglas Robinson is a prolific theorist of translation, whose academic perspectives are novel and his writing sharp. He often presents unconventional arguments on translation issues. This book is one of his most representative works and one of the most frequently cited works in the study of Western translation history and the broader field of Western translation studies to date. It can be said that in terms of both the length of the book and the scope of content covered, as well as the historical span and the range of figures involved, this work stands as the most comprehensive and reference-worthy English reading material in the relevant field to date.
