Examining Text and Authorship in Translation

More about the book

Focusing on the translation of authorial identity, this book provides an in-depth analysis of Christa Wolf's works in English translation. It investigates how translators, publishers, readers, and reviewers reshape the author's identity for diverse audiences. By addressing Wolf's complex public persona, the study contributes to ongoing discussions about global literary culture and the fragmented nature of 'international' authorship. Its interdisciplinary approach makes it valuable for scholars in Translation Studies, German Studies, and other literary fields.
