“The book under review adopts a corpus-based approach to explore style in literary translation … . It is particularly helpful and timely, and should be applauded for its contribution. Its intended readership is broad and global, including graduate students, translation teachers and researchers, and even any individual who shows great enthusiasm for corpus-based translation studies and stylistics. … it should be a useful reference book for the readers, particular for those who want to pursue this field further.” (Linxin Liang and Mingwu Xu, Babel, Vol. 62 (1), 2016)
