Medieval Literature Through the Lens of Translation Theory: Bridging the Interpretive Gap
- Published
- Translation Studies 3.1 (2010): 61-77.
- Description
- Investigates whether modern translation theory can be usefully applied to the Middle Ages, when the "skopos" or "wider development of the literary culture" differed so widely from today's cultures. Long uses "skopos" theory and "polysystems" theory to explore reconstructing the purposes and audiences of "three of Chaucer's translation projects": Bo, TC, and Astr.
