Biography
Lawrence Venuti, Professor Emeritus of English at Temple University, USA, is a translation theorist and historian as well as a translator from Italian, French, and Catalan. He is the author of The Translator’s Invisibility (Translation Classics edition, 2018), The Scandals of Translation (1998), and Translation Changes Everything (2013) as well as the editor of Teaching Translation: Programs, Courses, Pedagogies (2017), all published by Routledge.
“Anyone interested in the teaching of translation—from experienced scholars and
administrators to graduate students to professional translators—will find much to
learn from in this collection. The research takes up current debates in writing that
is accessible to non-specialists. Faculty who want to integrate translation into their
teaching would do well to start here.” Michael Gibbs Hill, College of William and Mary, USA“The premise is very interesting: the less standardized methods found in the US leave
room for more innovative and humanistic approaches to teaching translation. This
is amply borne out by the detailed accounts of programmes and courses that this
volume contains. And while they map the state of the art in a single country, they
also demonstrate the more general importance of translation to the arts and human
sciences.” Chris Rundle, University of Bologna, Italy
