Rhetoric, Hermeneutics, and Translation in the Middle Ages Summary

Rhetoric, Hermeneutics, and Translation in the Middle Ages: Academic Traditions and Vernacular Texts by Rita Copeland (University of Minnesota)

Translation played a crucial role in the emergence of vernacular literary culture in the Middle Ages. This is the first book to consider the rise of translation as part of a broader history of critical discourses from classical Rome to the late Middle Ages, and as such adds significantly to our understanding of the development of European culture.

Rhetoric, Hermeneutics, and Translation in the Middle Ages Reviews

'... a definitive and comprehensive study of translation theory and practice in the Middle Ages.' Literature and Theology
'... an important work likely to inspire and to frame many discussions of translation in the future ... a work of considerable learning, fine discrimination, and critical ambition.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
