"Embedded and embodied knowing (over mere knowledge), literary sensory studies, and self-knowledge are the stuff of the translator’s vocational and imaginational selves. The Routledge Guide to Teaching Literary Translation calibrates the wisdom of the body’s tuning forks: the senses, which heighten into aesthetic engagement; the emotions, which color our translational range; and mindfulness, which imbues a text with presence." Professor Kelly Washbourne, Kent State University"At a time when translation risks being reductively redefined as a 'simple' transfer of information, The Routledge Guide to Teaching Literary Translation reminds us that translating is a creative, embodied, and caring practice, capable of producing knowledge, stimulating curiosity, and promoting understanding. With its focus on modes of thinking, its clear step-by-step structure and its range of activities, the Guide provides an invaluable tool for those engaged in teaching translation to a new generation of students and professionals." Professor Loredana Polezzi, Stony Brook University
