Editorial Reviews
Review
‘The contributors to this fine volume are among the most respected and trusted experts in the field, and their advice on how to do translation studies is invaluable. In addition to reading the articles, be sure and ransack their references!’ – Douglas Robinson, Hong Kong Baptist University
‘Timely, necessary, up-to-date, comprehensive, and filled with common sense. An essential work for scholars and practitioners.’ Roberto Mayoral Asensio, Universidad de Granada, Spain
“The Routledge Handbook of Translation Studies is certainly a very useful book for students in Translation Studies, but also for young scholars and practitioners. It is another entry into Translation Studies as a discipline and the valuable and well-organised references presented with each article may even make this handbook useful for more advanced scholars… All in all, this handbook should be acquired by libraries as it will help students become more familiar with specific topics and enable them to find further information about them.” – Cercles
