Description

This comparative study of translation approaches in lesser-known European literatures offers a fresh perspective on the global literary landscape. By examining the strategies employed by authors from diverse national contexts, such as Bosnian, Catalan, Czech, Dutch, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Swedish, and Serbian, the book challenges traditional narratives of uniqueness and marginalization. Through a multidisciplinary approach combining literary, historical, sociological, and translation-studies perspectives, the authors illuminate the innovative thinking and strategies that mark these literatures as they navigate globalization. This study provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of supply-driven translation, cultural diplomacy, and institutional support, shedding light on the often-pioneering approaches that enable these literatures to reach a wider audience. By exploring the fates of poetry, women's writing, and genre fiction, as well as the opportunities arising from trans-medial circulation, self-translation, and translingualism, the book offers a nuanced understanding of the translation and publishing industries.
