Biography
Douglas Robinson is Professor of Translation Studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and author or editor of 13 Routledge books, including Becoming a Translator, Translation as a Form, Critical Translation Studies, Translationality, Priming Translation and The Behavioral Economics of Translation.
"This revised and expanded edition of Douglas Robinson’s seminal anthology Western Translation Theory from Herodotus to Nietzsche is extremely welcome as the field of Translation Studies seeks to expand its conception of translation theory and of who is authorized to theorize. The inclusion of more women translator-theorists and of more translator-theorists from Eastern Europe make it an invaluable resource for researchers and educators alike."
Brian Baer, Kent State University
