After babel : aspect of languaje and translation

incl. ref.

En Biblioteca: Después de Babel 81'25 S35

First published in 1975, After babel constituted the first systematic investigation of the theory and processes of translation since the eighteenth century. In mapping out its own field, it quickly established itself as both controversial and seminal, and gave rise to a considerable, and still-growing, body of secondary literature. Even today, with its status as a modern classic beyond question, many of the book's insights remain provocative and challenging. For this second edition of After Babel, George Steiner has entirely revised the text, added new and expanded notes, provided a subtantial updated bibliography [including much Russian and Eastern European material], and writtena new preface setting the book in the present contex of hermeneutics, poetics, and translation studies.
