"The introduction of this wide-ranging and polyvocal book announces that 'Literary translation's appeal is existential, not merely intellectual, aesthetic, political or recreational.' The book itself is all these things, and more: it offers a broad and inclusive approach to the translation of expressive language, whether in high-art forms or in popular media, in performance, in professional or popular settings, with an emphasis on the translator’s voice, and the collaborative synergies that authors, translators and publishers develop in the processes that lead to the finished product. It presents a panorama of literary translation that leads readers into most unexpected directions." Luise von Flotow, University of Ottawa, Canada"This Handbook is the most up-to-date resource for students, practitioners and instructors of literary translation. It is wide-ranging and inclusive as it deals with high and popular cultures, as well as marginalized and under-represented literary genres. It is forward-looking and timely for the twent-first century as it engages with current literary translation practice in the context of oral literature and emerging digital forms of literature. Innovative and unique, the Handbook is indeed an invaluable reference for anyone interested in the practice, teaching and scholarship of literary translation." Paul F. Bandia, Concordia University, Canada
