Performing Without a Stage is a lively and comprehensive introduction to the art of literary translation for readers of foreign fiction and poetry who wonder what it takes to translate, how the art of literary translation has changed over the centuries, what problems translators face in bringing foreign works into English and how they go about solving these problems. This book will also be of interest to translators, writers, editors, critics, and literature students, dealing as it does, often controversially, with such matters as the translator's fidelity to the author, the publishing and reviewing of translations, the nearly nonexistent public image of the stageless translator, and the value for writers and scholars of studying and practicing translation.

The story is about "a man caught in an unusual love triangle."--Jacket.
A humorous anthology which portrays an England glorying in its foibles, its delights and above all in its history. Contributions from writers as far removed as Mark Twain, Henry James and Will Rogers show how Americans have viewed England and its people over the years.
