Description

The act of translation, illustration and interpretation all begin with a rending of sense. This process forms the basis for understanding the works that follow. Likenesses explores this palimpsestic realm, examining how literature and art are layered with meaning. Examples from Dante to Rachel Whiteread illustrate the complexities of reading and interpreting texts. The practice of reading readings is shown to be a crucial tactic for criticism in general. Critics must balance their own imagination's power with a critical eye. This book extends the argument made by Matthew Reynolds in his previous work, The Poetry of Translation. A wide range of translations are covered, including substantial accounts of Browning, Tennyson, Dryden and others. Goya, Turner and Ungaretti also feature prominently.
