Industry Reviews

This is a landmark publication in the area of translation, language and intercultural studies. Michelle Woods' study highlights the fascinating history of the translation of Milan Kundera's works and how perceptions of Kundera's work in the English-speaking world have been crucially mediated by the process of translation. The work offers a detailed and highly insightful account of the reception of Kundera's work in Anglophone countries and how the social, political and cultural contexts of writing can have a crucial influence on translation choices and strategies. Michelle Woods' new book means that we now have to rewrite the history of East-West cultural relations in the closing decades of the last history. Michael Cronin
